There are excellent opportunities to develop your knowledge and skills within optics and progress your career as part of a growing independent practice group.

• Providing information and advice about our lenses, products, services and current offers
• Supporting the dispensing of single vision, bifocal and varifocal lenses
• Assisting with the smooth running of clinics and supporting our Optometrists before and after eye examinations
• Booking appointments and dealing with patient enquiries in person and over the telephone
• Accurately updating patient records and practice management systems
• Handling confidential patient information appropriately and in accordance with data protection requirements
• Assembling and checking spectacle orders
• Carrying out minor spectacle adjustments and repairs following training
• Supporting general administrative duties and the day-to-day running of the practice

• Is comfortable learning new systems, products and clinical terminology
• Takes pride in maintaining high professional standards

Working Hours

Why Join Eyesite?
