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.

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.
