Ready to Learn, Ready to Make a Difference?

You don’t need optical experience to succeed at Dr. Tavel—just drive, compassion, and a desire to grow. We’re looking for someone who loves people, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and wants more than a job—they want a career. As an Optician, we’ll teach you everything you need to know. Bring curiosity, commitment, and a willingness to learn—we’ll handle the rest.

This is an opportunity to break into a professional field where style, service, and healthcare intersect. It’s rewarding work—but we won’t sugarcoat it. Success here takes focus, sharp attention to detail, and a daily commitment to excellence.

• Make minor repairs and adjustments to ensure a comfortable, proper fit for every pair.
• Build lasting relationships with patients that keep them coming back.
• Stay on top of your development, completing training, certifications, and growth milestones.
• Ability to travel to support other locations only if needed.

• You prefer repetition and routine over opportunities for growth in knowledge and skills.
• You struggle in high-energy environments or dislike frequent change.
• You tend to wait for direction rather than taking initiative.

• You are not open to coaching, feedback, or ongoing training.

You will be a GREAT Fit If:

• You love helping people and take pride in making their day better.
• You are excited about a job where you're constantly learning and growing.
• You communicate clearly and confidently—even when trying something new.
• You can juggle multiple tasks while staying organized and focused.
• You appreciate feedback and use it as a tool to improve.

• You show up on time, stay dependable, and take your responsibilities seriously.
• Availability to work during office hours (including some Saturdays)
• Paid Time Off and Paid Holidays
• Health, Dental, and Rx Insurance
• 100% Paid Parental Leave
• Free Eye Exams & Glasses (including immediate and extended family discounts)
