That’s why we approach every conversation with care, confidentiality, and absolutely no pressure. If you’re an experienced Optical Assistant looking for a fresh start in a supportive, well-established practice, we’re here to help you take that step at your own pace.

YOU MUST HAVE A MINIMUM OF 12 MONTHS EXPERIENCE WORKING WITHIN OPTICS.
IF NOT, YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY REJECTED.

The Opportunity

We are proud to be working with a leading optical practice in the heart of Bristol City Centre, who are looking for a friendly and enthusiastic Optical Assistant to join their dynamic team. This is an excellent opportunity to become part of a progressive and supportive environment where your skills and customer service expertise will be truly valued.

This practice has recently completed a full store refit, is home to state-of-the-art technology, and will soon be launching a brand-new Hearcare service, making this a fantastic time to join the team.

About the Practice

  • Location: Prime high street position in Bristol City Centre
  • Store Layout: 2 floors, 9 test rooms, plus 2 dedicated Hearcare rooms

  • Atmosphere: Collaborative, professional, and people-focused culture

Why Join This Practice?

  • Brand-new refit with modern facilities
  • Supportive and enthusiastic team environment
  • Exciting Hearcare launch bringing new services to customers

Your Role

As an Optical Assistant , you will:

  • Deliver exceptional customer service, making every patient feel welcome and cared for
  • Assist patients with frame styling, lens choices, and explaining product benefits
  • Take accurate measurements and ensure prescriptions are correctly processed
  • Support the clinical team by managing appointments and providing smooth patient journeys
  • Handle till transactions and general reception duties
  • Maintain high standards of organisation, presentation, and hygiene in the practice

What We’re Looking For

  • Previous experience as an Optical Assistant is desirable (but not essential if you have strong retail or customer service experience)
  • Passionate about delivering excellent customer care
  • Strong communication skills and ability to build rapport with customers and colleagues
  • A proactive and positive attitude, with a willingness to learn and grow
  • The ability to dispense to all levels, confidently and comfortably

Salary & Benefits

  • Competitive salary (dependent on experience)
  • Additional benefits to be discussed at interview
  • Full training and ongoing career development opportunities

Hours

Full-time position (37.5 hours per week) including one weekend day

Shifts – 9:30am – 6:00pm or 9:50am – 5:30pm
