When you join Bayfields Opticians & Audiologists as our Dispensing Optician, you are joining an independent business. Although we are national, we are not a huge chain which means we understand the importance of local relationships and the power of choice. We aim to deliver obsessively great service to each and every one of our clients which is at the core of what we do. We have the latest diagnostic equipment, the latest technological advances in contact lenses, spectacle lenses and frames, and the latest fashions.

At Bayfields Opticians & Audiologists, we are passionate about the services we provide our clients, so as our Dispensing Optician, you will work closely with our Optometrists to determine the best solutions for your clients and their lifestyles. It’s not all about dispensing, fitting and adjusting spectacles or even teaching clients how to use contact lenses, it’s about you delivering obsessively great service every step of client journey and putting your clients at the forefront of their time in the practice.

You will be a qualified FBDO and GOC registered Dispensing Optician with excellent communication and listening skills and the ability to build strong relationships with your team members, peers, and clients.

If you are ready for a new and exciting opportunity, then we would love to hear from you!
