Dispensing Optician
Reading
30,000 – 40,000 DOE
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 looking to move away from the high-volume retail environment and join a truly patient-focused independent practice, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
The Opportunity
We’re working with a well-established independent practice near Reading that is looking to welcome an experienced Dispensing Optician to its close-knit team.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a highly respected practice where patient care, continuity and personalised service are at the heart of everything they do. With long-standing private patients and a reputation built on quality rather than volume, you’ll have the time and freedom to provide a truly bespoke dispensing experience.
The Practice
The practice is a long-established, independent optical practice located near Reading.
With three consulting rooms, 50-minute test times and an entirely private patient base, the focus is firmly on delivering exceptional clinical care and premium eyewear solutions.
This is not a volume-driven environment. Instead, patients return year after year because of the personal relationships built with the team and the outstanding level of service they receive.
The Role
As Dispensing Optician, you’ll be responsible for:
” Delivering a premium dispensing experience to private patients
” Recommending bespoke lens solutions and premium products
” Building long-term relationships with patients
” Supporting the clinical team with patient journeys
” Providing outstanding customer service from start to finish
” Maintaining the high standards and reputation of the practice
About You
We’re looking for someone who:
” Is a qualified Dispensing Optician
” Has previous experience within an independent practice
” Is well-presented, professional and personable
” Enjoys building long-term patient relationships
” Has excellent communication and customer service skills
” Is passionate about quality eyewear and patient care
” Wants to be part of a stable, supportive team environment
Experience within a premium independent setting would be highly advantageous.
Salary & Benefits
” Salary between 30,000 – 40,000 DOE
” Full-time position
” 4 or 5 days per week considered
” Alternate Saturdays
” GOC fees paid
” CET support and development
” Opportunity for further qualifications and career progression
” Supportive independent practice environment
” Long-term career stability
Why Join?
” Fully private patient base
” 50-minute test times
” High-end independent practice
” Strong reputation within the local community
” No high-pressure sales targets
” Opportunity to build lasting patient relationships
” Career development opportunities
” Immediate requirement with genuine long-term prospects
