Optical Assistant - Luxury Eyewear - Knightsbridge

Zest Optical are partnering with one of the most respected names in handcrafted luxury eyewear to recruit a polished, commercially astute Optical Assistant for their flagship Knightsbridge boutique. This is an exceptional opportunity to represent a design-led heritage brand where expert service and high-value sales go hand in hand.

About the Brand

Founded in 1969, this independent British eyewear house has cultivated a global following among creatives, tastemakers, and cultural leaders. Each frame is handcrafted in Italy, combining meticulous artisanal skill with bold, expressive design.

Renowned for originality, heritage, and uncompromising quality, the brand occupies a rare space where craftsmanship, culture, and luxury retail meet.

The Role

This is a boutique environment where clients expect exceptional optical expertise and a highly personalised luxury experience, and where thoughtful service translates into meaningful commercial success.

You will:

• Deliver an elevated, professional, and consultative optical experience
• Build deep, lasting client relationships and become a trusted eyewear advisor
• Convert personalised care and expertise into high-value sales — often across complete eyewear wardrobes
• Provide dispensing support, styling guidance, and product knowledge with confidence
• Support pre-screening and clinical flow where required
• Maintain immaculate presentation standards and support visual merchandising

About You

• Optical experience in a premium or boutique environment
• Proven ability to build trust and convert service into sales results
• Comfortable selling high-value, investment-level products
• Warm, polished communicator with strong emotional intelligence
• Confident dispensing knowledge and passion for premium craft and design
• Ambitious, motivated, and energised by delivering both exceptional care and strong commercial outcomes

You're someone who loves understanding a client, guiding them with expertise, and ensuring they leave feeling valued, while also achieving impressive sales results in a refined setting.

Why Join?

• Up to £32,000 salary
• Generous commission structure — with potential to earn tens of thousands through high-value sales
• Work with a globally admired, handcrafted product collection
• Join a knowledgeable, creative, and close-knit boutique team
• Long-term development at the intersection of luxury retail and optical craft

If you're an experienced Optical Assistant who excels in both service and sales, and you'd love to represent an iconic design-led brand in a flagship boutique environment, we'd love to hear from you.
