Looking for flexibility, growth, and a great team environment?

Based in the heart of Lakeside, we offer free on-site parking and are open Monday to Saturday, 9am – 8pm, and Sundays from 11am – 5pm—making it easy to find a working pattern that suits you. We offer flexibility to help you achieve a great work-life balance, whether you're after full-time, part-time, condensed hours, or flexible shifts.

We’re passionate about supporting the same progression for every member of our team—whether you're aiming for clinical development or management and partnership opportunities.

Our store is well-equipped with six test rooms and the latest clinical technology, including the Fully Assisted Refraction System (FARS). We also offer a variety of enhanced clinical services such as MECS appointments, Post-Op Cataract follow-ups, and Glaucoma Repeat Readings, giving you the opportunity to expand your clinical expertise in a supportive and forward-thinking environment.

As well as all the support you need and great training and development opportunities, we have a whole load of benefits on offer for you to enjoy. These include: 

• Full or part time options, including condensed hours

We do need you to have a few skills to get started in this role. Firstly, you’ll need to be registered as a member of the General Optical Council (keeping this up to date). You’ll also need to be confident and passionate about providing the best customer service and be able to supervise our pre reg optometrists.

If you're passionate about delivering excellent patient care and want to grow in a supportive, forward-thinking practice, we’d love to hear from you.
