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.

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
