About Us
Home Visiting Opticians provide domiciliary eye care, bringing professional optical services directly to patients in their own homes and care settings. We're looking for an organised and personable Office Administrator to join our small, friendly team and help keep our operation running smoothly.
The Role
As Office Administrator, you'll be the vital link between our patients, our opticians on the road, and the smooth day-to-day running of the office. Your key responsibilities will include:
- Patient contact: Making confirmation calls to patients ahead of their home visits, ensuring appointments run smoothly and patients feel informed and cared for
- Liaison with opticians: Staying in regular contact with our opticians while they're out visiting patients, providing support and information as needed
- Route planning: Designing and optimising daily travel routes for our opticians, making sure visits are scheduled efficiently and appointments are well spaced
- General administration: Supporting the wider team with day-to-day office tasks as required
About You
We're looking for someone who is:
- Confident and friendly on the phone, with excellent communication skills
- Organised, with a good eye for planning and problem-solving
- Comfortable using computer systems, scheduling software, and maps/route-planning tools (training provided where needed)
- A team player who can also work independently and use their initiative
- Previous admin or customer service experience is desirable, but full training will be given
Experience in the optical or healthcare sector is a bonus but not essential.
What We Offer
- Flexible part-time hours to suit
- A friendly, supportive team environment
- The chance to make a real difference to patients who might otherwise struggle to access eye care
