We are a true independent practice with a loyal patient base, an exceptional reputation, and a passion for doing things to a high standard. We are looking for an experienced, detail-driven senior optical dispenser who takes pride in delivering outstanding, personalised patient care.

- 30-minute collection & adjustment appointments
- Your own dispensing diary
- Close 1:1 collaboration with our Optometrists
- The opportunity to see patients from initial dispense through to final adjustments
Clinical & Technical Expertise Required
You must be confident and experienced in:
- All aspects of dispensing:
- Single vision, bifocals & multifocals
- Occupational lenses
- High prescriptions & complex cases
- Frame fitting with meticulous attention to detail
- Understanding patient tolerance levels and troubleshooting adaptation issues
- Accurate and compliant record keeping
Creative & Commercial Involvement
This is a role for someone who wants influence and help drive our expanding practice forward
You will have the opportunity to:
- Collaborate directly with premium eyewear brands
- Help hand-pick and curate our frame collections
- Get creative with stock management and inventory strategy
- Introduce new lens technologies and product ideas
- Contribute to business development and service improvements
The Environment
- Calm, organised, and highly professional
- Friendly, collaborative team culture
- Broad multidisciplinary approach, including behavioural optometry
- Loyal, long-standing patient relationships
- True independent practice ethos
We value empathy, emotional intelligence, and the ability to reassure and guide patients who may feel overwhelmed or uncertain. A can do, positive mind set is essential.
What We’re Looking For
You are:
- Technically strong and clinically confident
- Meticulous with detail and accuracy
- Organised and efficient
- A clear communicator with patients, colleagues, and suppliers
- Passionate about delivering exceptional outcomes
Most importantly, you care deeply about getting it right.
What We Offer
- Freedom to dispense what is genuinely best for each patient
- No Sundays or Bank Holidays
- No requirement to work every weekend
- Work-life balance genuinely respected
- 1 complimentary pair of glasses per year
- Social events & occasional work trips
- A supportive team that values your input
- Opportunity to shape the future of the practice
If you are an experienced dispensing professional who wants autonomy, creativity, and the chance to work in a high-quality independent setting, we would love to hear from you.
