40 million people wear spectacles in the UK alone, but the optical industry hasn’t changed enough in three centuries. Products are tired, standards are mediocre, and the experience is dull.

- Communicate the Cubitts brand story, mission and values to enrich the customer experience.
- Assist with frame and lens selection, offering expert product advice tailored to individual needs.
- Accurately dispense prescription and non-prescription lenses.
- Perform frame adjustments and basic repairs to ensure the perfect fit.
- Introduce our Made to Measure service to every customer, bringing its craft and purpose to life.
- Maintain a clean, organised store environment, ensuring displays and stock are well-presented.
- Follow GDPR and patient confidentiality guidelines at all times, maintaining trust and professionalism.
- Collaborate closely with your team and other departments, fostering a supportive and team-oriented environment.
Requirements
Who you are:
- Someone who thrives in a customer-centric environment and takes pride in delivering exceptional service.
- Genuine passion for spectacles, you are aligned to and inspired by our brand and values, excited to contribute to our mission.
- Proactive self-starter with a positive attitude and the ability to take initiative.
- Excellent communicator, confident in both written and verbal skills.
- Highly organised, with a keen eye for detail and aesthetics.
- Previous experience in a retail customer-facing role.
Benefits
Some nice things you’ll get
- Complimentary spectacles, eye examinations and generous discounts
- Option to buy and sell holiday
- Paid time away for the important moments in life
- Annual season ticket loan
- Cycle to work scheme
- Life assurance
- Aviva Digicare+
