Job Description

About the role

Your role within the team as an Optical Assistant will give you lots of opportunities to develop your knowledge through our industry-leading ‘Step Into Optics’ training programme. This programme includes both workshop-based learning and practical ‘on the job’ experience. You will also:

Order, dispense and collect glasses and contact lenses
