Flame Health Optometry have been instructed to work with a community-focused optical practice in Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland, to recruit a full-time Dispensing Optician or experienced Optical Assistant. This on-site role offers a salary of €38,000 to €42,000 per annum and will suit someone who enjoys patient-facing dispensing work, careful product advice, and being part of a close-knit practice.
You will be working day to day with patients to guide them towards frames and lenses that suit their prescription, lifestyle, comfort, and style preferences. The role combines accurate measurements, including pupillary distance and fitting heights, with clear explanations of lens options and coatings, followed by careful fitting and adjustment of spectacles.
The position also includes managing orders, liaising with laboratories, checking completed work for quality, and carrying out repairs and adjustments where needed. Alongside this, you will provide calm and respectful customer service, keep records up to date, support reception duties when required, and help maintain the smooth running and presentation of the practice. A good understanding of practice systems, steady organisation, and attention to detail will be important throughout.
Our client is a community-focused optical practice in Dublin, dedicated to personalised eye care and high-quality eyewear. The practice combines clinical standards with attentive customer service, and offers a curated selection of frames, lenses, and optical products for different lifestyles and budgets.
It is described as a friendly, professional environment where team members work closely together and patient care is prioritised. The role sits within a small, collaborative setting where clear communication and a consistent approach to service are valued.
Candidates should hold a recognised qualification as a Dispensing Optician, or bring substantial experience as an Optical Assistant within an optical practice. Experience in spectacle dispensing, frame selection, lens options, and fitting and adjustments is important, alongside the ability to explain clinical information clearly and listen carefully to patients of all ages.
We are looking for someone with strong organisational and administrative skills, including accurate record-keeping, order management, and basic computer literacy for practice management systems. Attention to detail and a quality-focused approach are essential, particularly when checking prescriptions and verifying lens specifications.
You should also be able to work well in a small team, take initiative in a busy environment, and adapt to changing patient and workflow needs. Familiarity with a range of lens types, coatings, and optical products would be an advantage.
This role will suit someone who enjoys practical optical work, patient interaction, and the care that goes into getting every detail right. It will appeal to a candidate looking for a varied position in a small practice where professionalism, initiative, and steady service matter.
