At Inspired Recruitment Group, we keep the recruitment process straightforward and confidential. Whether you’re actively looking or simply interested in understanding what else is available, there’s no pressure to make a move.

We are currently recruiting for a qualified Dispensing Optician to join a busy practice with 5 testing rooms and a team of around 27 staff.

The practice has a strong local patient base and operates at a high volume, so they are looking for someone who enjoys being busy, is confident on the shop floor and can bring strong dispensing knowledge to the wider team.

Both full-time and part-time applications will be considered, making this a good option for an experienced DO looking for either their next permanent full-time position or a better work-life balance.

As part of the wider optical team, you will be responsible for:

• Providing high-quality dispensing advice across a broad range of prescriptions
• Supporting patients with frame and lens choices
• Carrying out accurate measurements, fittings and adjustments
• Managing more complex dispensing requirements
• Delivering excellent patient care throughout the customer journey
• Supporting and sharing knowledge with less experienced members of the team
• Helping maintain high standards across a busy shop floor
• Contributing towards the continued commercial success of the practice

You will need to be a qualified and GOC-registered Dispensing Optician with strong dispensing knowledge and a patient-focused approach.

The practice would particularly suit somebody who is:

• Confident and knowledgeable across all areas of dispensing
• Comfortable working within a busy, high-volume environment
• Friendly and approachable with excellent communication skills

A busy practice with plenty of variety

This isn’t a quiet practice where you’ll be waiting around for patients. It is a busy and commercially successful store, so there is plenty happening throughout the day and a real opportunity for an experienced DO to come in and add value.

You’ll be joining an established team rather than being expected to do everything yourself, while still having the opportunity to bring your own experience and knowledge to the practice.

We keep things simple and confidential

There’s no expectation to commit to anything simply by having a conversation. If you’re interested in hearing more, I can talk you through the opportunity, answer any questions and give you a better understanding of the practice before you decide whether you’d like to proceed.
