The position is full-time, with part-time hours also considered, and would suit an experienced Optical Advisor looking to continue developing their career in a well-equipped practice with an independent feel.
This is a customer-facing position supporting the day-to-day work of an established optometry practice. Your duties will include answering the telephone, helping with dispensing and contributing to the general running of the store. You will work within a practice that has two testing rooms and up-to-date technology, supporting the service provided to customers and the team.
Full-time hours are preferred, although part-time arrangements can be considered. The store is open from 9am to 5.30pm. A bonus scheme is available, and the vacancy information also refers to career development opportunities. Further details of the working pattern and development options can be discussed during the application process.
Our client is an established optometry practice in Brighton. The store is described as having an independent feel, offering a setting that differs from a more conventional retail environment while providing optical services to its customers.
The practice has two testing rooms and is equipped with up-to-date technology. For an Optical Assistant, this provides the opportunity to work in a dedicated optical setting and contribute to the customer-facing service alongside the practice team. The role combines practical support, including assistance with dispensing, with everyday responsibilities such as answering calls.
The vacancy is suited to an experienced Optical Advisor with a friendly, motivated approach. The source information does not specify a mandatory qualification or registration requirement. It does, however, identify helping with dispensing and answering the telephone as part of the work, so candidates should be comfortable taking on these practical and customer-facing duties.
A helpful manner and willingness to contribute to the general duties of the practice are important. Experience in optical retail or a similar practice setting would be relevant to the position. [suggestion: Clear communication and care when assisting customers would support the responsibilities described.]
This position may suit an experienced Optical Advisor who is ready for a change of practice and wants a role combining customer contact with practical dispensing support. It could also appeal to someone seeking full-time work, while keeping open the possibility of part-time hours, in a practice with an independent feel.
The position is based in Brighton, within the city of Brighton and Hove.
