Optical Assistant

Optical Assistant roles at Specsavers are now even more rewarding. Join us and complete a nationally recognised qualification equivalent to a Level 3 BTEC to accelerate your optical career. The course improves knowledge and understanding of dispensing procedures and provides a stepping stone to the roles of DO, CLO and beyond!

We're looking for someone who has previous optical experience as an Optical Advisor or Dispensing Assistant - however we'll continue to help develop and expand your knowledge.

Some of the key tasks required include:

• Listening to patients, and giving good clear advice, explaining suitable products & offers whilst understanding NHS procedures & applying our own high standards


• Dispensing of lenses (single vision / bi-focal & varifocal)


• Carrying out pre-screening examinations & working alongside the wider team in day to day running of clinics


• Take measurements and support patients with collections, ensuring fit, comfort & accuracy of frames are checked thoroughly


• Maintain delivery of excellent customer service at all times, playing a valuable part of a customer journey & successful retail team.


You've already demonstrated that you're a natural when it comes to customer care, you're articulate, good with people with an organised approach and always happy to help, so you'll fit right in as a valuable member of our friendly store team, joining a business that's going places.
