At Inspired Recruitment Group, we understand that exploring a new opportunity can feel like a big step. That’s why every conversation we have is completely confidential, supportive, and always with zero pressure.

We’re currently recruiting for an experienced Optical Assistant / Dispensing Assistant to join a well-established independent optical practice with a long-standing reputation for outstanding patient care and premium eyewear.

This is a full-time, permanent opportunity within a beautifully refurbished, boutique-style practice offering a modern and welcoming environment, excellent clinical standards, and a genuinely supportive team culture.

” Ongoing training and development support
” CPD opportunities available
” Genuine career progression
” Team building events
” Company sick pay
” Employee Assistance Programme
” No Sunday or Bank Holiday working
” One Saturday off per month
” 28 days holiday including bank holidays
The Role
This is a varied role where you’ll play a key part in the patient journey, working closely alongside Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians to deliver an exceptional level of service and care.
Your responsibilities will include:

” Assisting patients with frame styling and lens recommendations
” Taking accurate measurements and supporting the dispensing process
” Providing a warm, professional, and personalised patient experience
” Supporting with spectacle adjustments, fittings, and minor repairs
” Managing spectacle orders and liaising with suppliers where required
” Maintaining accurate patient records and handling administration duties
” Supporting the wider practice team with day-to-day operations
” Ensuring the practice always looks professional and welcoming

What We’re Looking For

” Previous optical dispensing experience is essential
” Strong communication and customer service skills
” Someone organised, proactive, and confident in a busy environment
” A team player with a positive attitude and willingness to learn
” Comfortable using IT systems and adapting to evolving ways of working
” Level 3 Optical Assistant qualification would be advantageous

This is a fantastic opportunity for somebody who enjoys independent practice, premium eyewear, and building genuine relationships with patients rather than feeling like just another number in a large multiple.
