Every member of the team plays an important role in creating a positive patient experience, and they’re looking for a passionate Frame & Lens Specialist to join their team.

This is far more than a retail position. You’ll be a trusted advisor, helping patients find the right frames and lenses to suit their lifestyle, prescription and personal style, delivering an exceptional level of care from the moment they walk through the door.

Working alongside the Optometrists and practice team, you’ll confidently dispense prescriptions, assist with preliminary testing, provide expert advice on frames and lenses and support the smooth day-to-day running of the practice.

What a typical day looks like:

• Interpreting and dispensing optical prescriptions
• Assisting patients in selecting frames and lenses that meet their individual needs
• Managing appointments, patient records and general administration
• Assisting with stock management, ordering and retail displays
• Working with the wider team to achieve sales and service goals

About you

You’ll be someone who genuinely enjoys helping people and takes pride in delivering outstanding customer experiences. If you have a strong background in retail, healthcare or another customer-focused environment and are looking to build a career in the optical industry, you will receive great training and support to help you develop your technical skills.

Ideally you’ll bring:

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Excellent attention to detail and organisational ability
• Confidence using computer systems and learning new software
• A positive, proactive approach and the ability to work well both independently and as part of a team

If you’re motivated to learn, enjoy working with people and are committed to delivering exceptional service, this could be the perfect opportunity to upskill into a rewarding profession.

We are looking for a part-time Retail Assistant for our Hamilton store.

To be successful, you will need to have previous retail experience, strong selling skills, good people skills and have a competitive streak to achieve your sales and new sign-up targets. Your time management and organisational skills will be sound and you will not be afraid of hard work.

This role will require weekend work and daytime shifts so flexibility with working hours is required. Applicants must be 18 and over.
