I am currently working with a very well established independent optical chain that have been established over 70 years and are currently looking for a customer focussed and clinical Optical Assistant in the East Sussex area.

You will also be required to carry out frame styling, admin/ reception duties and give patients advice on options.
You will also occasionally be required to use the remote-edging equipment (training can be given if required)

A strong and varied dispensing knowledge.
The ability to dispense to all levels, with a friendly and personable demeanour and strong personal work ethic.
A customer-focused approach to your work and the ability to build a strong rapport with customers and colleagues alike.

Compensation for the Optical Assistant

For your efforts and experience, a competitive salary of up to £22,000 is on offer along with bonuses and additional benefits. You will also have the opportunity to receive some further training and join a professional team in a fun and relaxed environment with an independent optician.
