Full job description

Job Description:

Phillips Opticians is seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Part-Time Optical Assistant to join our team. This position will primarily be based at our Newbridge and Blackwood practices, with occasional assignments at our Risca, Pontypool, and Caerleon locations.

The successful candidate will serve as the first point of contact for patients, delivering exceptional customer service. Key responsibilities include performing various administrative tasks such as NHS form submission, record keeping, processing credit card payments, and filing. Proficiency in IT skills, particularly Microsoft Office and Google Sheets, is essential.

Additionally, the role involves assisting patients with frame selection and eventually measuring for lens suitability. The ideal candidate will be friendly, organised, and efficient, with a strong aptitude for both office and retail environments.

About Phillips Opticians

Established in 1922, Phillips Opticians began its journey in Pontywaun, focusing on delivering highly personalised services. Over the years, the commitment to service and quality has driven the successful expansion of Phillips Opticians across South Wales. Today, the company operates five practices throughout the South Wales valleys, employing over 20 staff members, including Optometrists, Dispensing Opticians, and a dedicated support team.
