What you'll be doing day to day.

Primarily, you'll provide information to customers, working alongside the Optometrist, to help them select the best products and services to ensure customers see, look and feel better than they ever thought possible. Secondly, you'll keep up-to-date with all the various new lines and promotions within your practice, so that you can always provide customers with the most up-to-date information. Finally, you'll play your part within the team, working together and helping and supporting colleagues to deliver a successful and profitable business.

How will you do it?

You'll listen to our customers - and provide the right, up to date information at all times. You'll select the best products for each customer and this, in turn, will naturally increase our sales and make us profitable. You'll ensure that the practice is always clean and tidy and that you effectively manage queues at busy periods. This means our customers will receive an excellent service in a great environment.

What you'll need to have.

We're looking for really great people, with a friendly personality and experience in an optical business. It's all about working together as one great team - after all it's our people that are at the heart of our business. It's a fantastic opportunity to add to your own development, and a chance to learn more about us as a business. It could open up even more opportunities with us. You'll need to have lots of computer experience, along with really great communication and customer service skills. It isn't just about experience, we're interested in seeing a bit more, the real you - and that makes us all feel good.
