Your role within the team as an Optical Assistant will give you lots of opportunities to develop your knowledge through our industry-leading ‘Step Into Optics’ training programme. This programme includes both workshop-based learning and practical ‘on the job’ experience. You will also:

  • Order, dispense and collect glasses and contact lenses
  • Support with eye-tests and pre-screening activities
  • Provide aftercare support through repairs and adjustments
  • Complete operational and administrative tasks associated with dispensing prescriptions
  • Maintain shop floor standards

What you’ll need to have

  • These are the essential skills or experience needed to succeed in this role.
  • Passion for customer care
  • Enthusiasm for learning and personal development
