Healthy Hearing | Ferndown / Christchurch
Healthy Hearing is a trusted and growing hearing care provider with centres across Rutland, Leicestershire and Dorset. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service with compassion, professionalism, and warmth.
We're looking for a confident, organised individual to lead the front-of-house experience across our Ferndown and Christchurch centres, playing a crucial role in delivering an exceptional experience for every client while supporting and developing our team across both sites. This is a varied, fast-paced role where no two days look the same — you'll manage appointments, support clients, oversee day-to-day operations across both centres, and help train and guide colleagues, often juggling multiple priorities at once, with the confidence to work autonomously. It's an ideal role for someone who loves helping people, thrives on juggling tasks, and enjoys learning new skills, thinking on their feet, and taking ownership.
