Optical Assistant

Hi, we’re Ace & Tate – and yes, we make glasses. But more than that, we make working here worth your while.

That’s why we’re looking for an Optical Assistant (8 hours) in Oxford who brings talent and dedication to our team.

• Create a welcoming vibe – Make every customer feel seen and excited to be in store.
• Deliver clear style advice – Help customers find frames that feel right for them by sharing helpful style tips.
• Share your knowledge – Explain the differences between lenses, coatings, and fits so customers can make the right choice.
• Get every detail right – Polish lenses, adjust frames, and make sure every pair leaves looking sharp and ready to wear.
• Handle sales with care – Walk customers through lens upgrades, coatings, and add-ons to ensure they leave with exactly what they need.

No background in optics? That’s okay – what matters most is your passion for people, eye for style, and drive to deliver standout service.

Wear whatever makes you feel good – no company dress code here.

• Rewarding your impact – Earn up to an 8% monthly bonus by reaching store targets.
• Time to recharge – 28 days holiday entitlement, with up to 33 days after two years of service.
