Are you passionate about retail and offering the best customer experience?

We are looking for someone with a strong background of providing a pro-active and first-class customer experience, a real desire when it comes to customer care & the ability to communicate politely & professionally with all customers and colleagues.

You’ll be responsible for assisting patients and ensuring the best customer journey throughout:

•    Dealing with enquiries both face to face and over the telephone
•    Providing support with booking appointments
•    Offering a warm welcome from the moment they walk through the door
•    Listening to their requirements & assisting with frame style advice
•    Helping to guide them through our offers & products to ensure the right choice for them
•    Processing customer collections and ensuring fit & comfort are checked accurately

As a business that prides itself on providing supported development & exciting long-term careers, previous Optical experience is not essential - you’ll receive all the training needed and we will support you to develop your knowledge of the optical world, such as:

Pre-screening patients, measuring frames, dispensing single vision, bifocal & varifocal lenses, whilst working towards NHS procedures and our own high standards.
