Job Description

About the role

As an Optical Assistant you will be a fundamental part of our Boots Opticians store team, being the first and last person that our customers interact with.

You will be based in store and report to the store manager. You will work on the shop floor and spend your time building great relationships with customers by listening and understanding their needs to find the right product or service for them. From greeting customers when they arrive in store, being part of the pre-screening activities of an eye-test through to helping our customers find the perfect eye-wear solution for them – no two days will be the same.

Your role within the team as an Optical Assistant will give you lots of opportunities to develop your knowledge through our industry-leading ‘Step Into Optics’ training programme. This programme includes both workshop-based learning and practical ‘on the job’ experience. You will also:

Order, dispense and collect glasses and contact lenses
Support with eye-tests and pre-screening activities
Provide aftercare support through repairs and adjustments
Complete operational and administrative tasks associated with dispensing prescriptions
Maintain shop floor standards
