Job description

So, you’re a proactive people person, passionate about retail and offering the best customer service? Sounds like you’d be a great fit here. So, if you’ve ever considered a career in optics, this Optical Assistant role could be perfect for you.

As an Optical Assistant, you don’t need to have previous experience, you just need to be prepared to create an outstanding store environment for both our customers and our team, making sure every patient receives the best care in our stores.

We aren’t looking for people with years of experience and heaps of qualifications, just passionate, hard-workers ready to confidently welcome and help customers as they walk through our doors. And once you’ve found your feet as an Optical Assistant, you don’t just have to stop there.

We have plenty of professional training and development in other business areas, as well as the support of experienced Opticians and Technicians supporting you on your journey. So, whatever you want your career to look like, you can bring it to life at Specsavers.

Based in the Bloomfield Shopping Centre, we are a community driven store that actively participates with charities and community initiatives alike.

  • £8.20ph-£12.91ph depending on experience

  • Passion for providing excellent customer service and making customers’ lives easier
  • Great teamwork
  • A good initiative
  • Confidence in using IT systems
  • Excellent communication and listening skills
  • Prepared to step out of your comfort zone and try something new
  • Able to receive feedback and be open to development, knowing we’ll be there to support and guide you throughout your process (with your openness and our guidance, your opportunities will be endless).

If you’ve got all these skills, we’d love for you to apply, but there’s also some desirable experience that could set you apart from the competition if you have it.

This includes

  • Previous experience in a fast-paced customer service environment

  • Basic knowledge/experience of optical and/or Audiology terminology.
