You'll play a key part in our mission of helping our customers to 'See More and Be More' by providing tailored and effective service, helping customers maximize their visual potential and enhance their lifestyle.

Although the hours of this role are advertised, if this sounds like the role for you, we'd love to hear about your ideal working week. Whether these are hours to fit around the school run or you prefer a compressed week, we are open to discussing flexible options with you further.

Who is the perfect candidate?

• Provide excellent customer service, with the ability to provide personalised assistance to customers and address their needs and concerns.
• Great communication and rapport-building skills to translate professional terminology into language understandable to patients.
• Exceptional attention to detail in maintaining accurate customer records, prescriptions, and requirements to provide them with the best service and product recommendations.
• Ability to work as part of a team, with colleagues across the whole store.
• The ability to work under pressure and handle challenging situations in a fast-paced retail environment.
• Confidence, passion, drive, and enthusiasm.
• Knowledge and understanding of our optical products and services, including frames, lenses, and contact lenses, and the ability to inform customers about them and promote our products and services to help towards your store targets.
