Schedule: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday (29 hours per week)

About Us

We are a friendly, independent optician. Our philosophy is simple: patient care comes first. No corporate sales targets. No rushed appointments. Just genuine, high-quality eyecare for our local community.

We are looking for a Lead Optical Assistant to take ownership of our Bethnal Green practice. This is a role for someone who is confident, warm, and capable of working independently.

The Role

You will be responsible for running the dispensary and supporting day-to-day operations alongside the optometrist.

Key Responsibilities

Advanced dispensing – including varifocals, bifocals, and complex prescriptions
Frame repairs – screws, nose pads, heat adjustments, and more complex fixes
NHS voucher processing – accurate, timely, and fully compliant
Opening and closing the practice independently (key holder)
Equipment operation – Essilor Neksia 500, tracer, and practice software (refresher provided)
Supervising and training junior staff
Stock ordering – frames, lenses, and consumables
Creating a warm, calm, and welcoming environment for every patient

About You

Essential Requirements

At least 3–5 years of optical experience in a patient-facing role
Confident with varifocal dispensing – able to explain options clearly to patients
Competent with frame repairs – screws, nose pads, heat adjustments
Warm, calm, and clear communication style
Able to work independently and take ownership of your work
Seeking a long-term role in an independent practice

What We Offer

Competitive salary – £28k–£30k pro rata (£22k–£24k for 29 hours)
Warm, supportive independent practice – no corporate pressure
Genuine responsibility – you will be the lead at Bethnal Green
Staff eyewear discount for you and your family
Pension scheme
Opportunity to help shape and grow a developing team

How to Apply

Please apply with your CV and answer the following questions in your cover note or application message:

What is the most complex repair you have completed recently? Please describe your process.
How do you explain varifocals to a patient who feels unsure or nervous?
What appeals to you about working in an independent practice?

Applications without answers to these questions will not be considered.

Practical Test

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a short, informal practical test at the practice. You will be asked to:

Complete a simple frame repair (e.g., tighten a screw or replace a nose pad)
Talk through how you would dispense a varifocal to a patient
Demonstrate your welcoming manner in a brief role-play scenario

We are looking for confidence, skill, and approach – not perfection.
