Optical Assistant

Full-time

Inspired Selections

Optical Assistant – Full Time | Independent Practice | South West London | Up to £28,000 DOE

To apply for this role you MUST have optical experience.

At Inspired Recruitment Group, we understand that exploring a new opportunity can feel like a big step. Whether you’re actively looking or just keeping an eye on the market, every conversation we have is handled with care, confidentiality, and absolutely no pressure.

We’re working with a well-established, independent practice in South West London that has built an excellent reputation over more than 20 years. This is not your standard high-street role — it’s a premium environment where patient care, attention to detail, and quality truly come first.

They’re now looking for an experienced Optical Assistant who takes pride in their work, enjoys being part of a close-knit team, and wants to be involved in more than just the day-to-day routine.

The Role

  • Full-time, permanent position
  • Weekend availability required
  • Dispensing high-quality eyewear with a strong focus on patient experience
  • Supporting patients with tailored frame and lens choices
  • Handling a varied patient base with professionalism and patience
  • Playing an active role in the smooth running of the practice
  • Supporting social media and local marketing activity
  • Bringing ideas to the table — this is a place where your input is genuinely valued

The Practice

This is a modern, independent practice offering a premium service with advanced clinical capabilities, including OCT, retinal imaging, corneal topography, and myopia management.

You’ll be working with a team that genuinely cares about doing things properly — no conveyor belt, no corner cutting. Just good, honest optics done the right way.

They’ve also curated a strong selection of luxury eyewear , so if you enjoy working with quality products and styling patients properly, you’ll feel right at home.

Salary & Benefits

  • Salary up to £28,000 depending on experience
  • 28 days holiday including bank holidays
  • Supportive, non-corporate working environment
  • Opportunity to take ownership and contribute ideas
  • Work alongside an experienced, friendly team
  • A practice that values quality over quick wins

Who They’re Looking For

  • An experienced Optical Assistant who knows their craft
  • Reliable, organised, and professional in their approach
  • Someone who’s happy to roll their sleeves up and get stuck in
  • Calm, patient, and confident when dealing with all types of patients
  • Proactive by nature — not someone who waits to be told what to do
  • Proud of what they do and keen to keep improving

Interested? Let’s Have a Confidential Chat

If this sounds like your kind of environment — or you’re simply curious to find out more — get in touch for a relaxed, confidential conversation.
