YOU MUST HAVE A MINIMUM OF 2 YEARS' EXPERIENCE IN OPTICS TO BE CONSIDERED

Experienced Optical Assistant - Independent Practice
Ripley, Derbyshire
Up to £27,000 DOE
Full-Time

If you're an experienced Optical Assistant who values doing things properly, this is a role where you'll be given the time and environment to deliver a genuinely high standard of care.

You'll be joining a respected independent practice with a strong reputation in the local area. The focus here is firmly on patient experience rather than volume, offering a more considered and personal approach to eye care. It's a setting where your input matters, and where attention to detail is expected and appreciated.

The practice combines clinical support with a strong eyewear offering, so you'll need to be just as comfortable advising on lenses as you are helping patients find frames that suit them.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Guiding patients through frame and lens choices with confidence
  • Providing tailored styling advice based on individual needs
  • Managing appointments and keeping the diary running smoothly
  • Carrying out fittings, adjustments, and minor repairs
  • Explaining lens options and enhancements clearly and professionally
  • Supporting the daily operation of the practice
  • Maintaining consistently high standards of patient care

What They Want to See:

  • At least 2 years' experience working within optics
  • Strong communication skills and a patient-first mindset
  • Confidence in dispensing and frame styling
  • Professional, approachable, and well-presented
  • High level of accuracy and attention to detail
  • Reliable team player who contributes positively to the environment
  • A genuine interest in delivering quality over quantity

This is a straightforward, no-nonsense opportunity in a practice that takes pride in what it does. If you're looking to step into a role where standards are high and patient care comes first, it's worth a conversation.
