Experienced Dispensing Optician / Optical Assistant
Independent Boutique Practice | Up to 36,000 DO / 29,000 OA | Full Time
At Inspired Recruitment Group, we understand that exploring a new job opportunity can feel like a big step. That’s why we approach every conversation with care, confidentiality and absolutely no pressure.
If you’re an experienced Dispensing Optician or Optical Assistant looking to join a friendly, well-established independent where you can really get to know your patients and enjoy some variety in your role, this could be a lovely opportunity.
The Opportunity
We’re working with a busy, boutique independent practice near Harrow looking for an experienced Dispensing Optician or Optical Assistant to join their small, close-knit team on a long-term basis.
This isn’t a large multiple where you’re simply another member of a big team. The practice has built a loyal patient base, is currently booked around two weeks in advance and prides itself on providing a personal, high-quality service.
They’re looking for someone friendly, bubbly and personable who enjoys building relationships with patients and is happy getting involved across different areas of the practice.
The Practice
This is a modern, well-run independent with a boutique feel and a strong focus on quality eyewear and patient care.
The practice has one testing room and benefits from excellent clinical and dispensing technology, including:
” OCT and Optomap
” Visi-Office
” OPTIX practice management system
” Essilor lenses
” Premium and boutique frame ranges including Ray-Ban, Prada, Gucci and Wolf
” Free parking available at the rear of the practice
The Team
You’ll be joining a small, friendly team where everyone works closely together and there is plenty of opportunity to get involved.
The atmosphere is professional but relaxed, and they’re looking for someone who will become a genuine long-term part of the practice rather than simply filling a position.
The team also enjoys social events together, including their annual Christmas celebrations.
The Role
This will be a varied position and could suit either an experienced Dispensing Optician or Optical Assistant.
Day to day, you’ll be involved with:
” Dispensing across a range of lenses and frames
” Adjustments and repairs
” Pre-screening
” Supporting patients throughout their journey
” Using the OPTIX system
” Working with frame representatives and assisting with frame buying
” General support across the practice
” Some laboratory work, including remote edging and assembling spectacles
Previous lab experience would be a real advantage but isn’t essential.
About You
Personality and experience are really important for this practice.
You’ll ideally be:
” An experienced Dispensing Optician or Optical Assistant
” Confident with dispensing and adjustments
” Friendly, bubbly and personable
” Professional and presentable
” Comfortable working within a small independent team
” Someone who genuinely enjoys getting to know their patients
” Looking for a stable, long-term opportunity
They would also consider a Trainee Dispensing Optician or Pre-Reg DO with the right experience and attitude.
Salary & Benefits
Dispensing Optician – up to 36,000
Optical Assistant – up to 29,000
You’ll also receive:
” Full-time, 5-day working week
” Tuesday to Saturday, 9:00am-5:30pm
” 20 days’ holiday plus Bank Holidays
” WPA health insurance
” Family and friends discounts
” Free parking
” Supportive independent working environment
Why Join?
If you enjoy independent optics and want somewhere you can really become part of the practice, this offers a great balance.
You’ll have premium products, a loyal patient base, modern equipment, a busy but well-run clinic and plenty of variety in your day, all within a small team where your contribution will genuinely be valued.
Interested in finding out more? All conversations are completely confidential and there’s absolutely no pressure.
