Zest Optical are partnered with an exciting new optical brand preparing to launch its first location in Colchester in September 2026.

Flexibility is available, with both regular weekly days and block bookings considered.
The Role
- Conduct sight tests and deliver high levels of patient care
- Support the successful launch of a brand-new optical concept
- Help shape a positive and engaging customer experience
- Work alongside a supportive and ambitious leadership team
- Become part of a business looking to redefine how community optics feels for patients
The Person
- GOC registered Optometrist
- Passionate about patient care and community optics
- Enjoys working within energetic and evolving environments
- Comfortable supporting a modern retail-focused setting
- Interested in being part of an ambitious new project from the beginning
Additional Information
