Job Title
Dispensing optician, home-based
Job Description
About the Role
We’re looking for a qualified Dispensing optician to join our domiciliary team in a home-based sales role.
After our opticians carry out eye examinations in care homes and residents’ own homes, you’ll follow up by phone with patients and/or their next of kin to talk through the results, explain any recommendations or referrals, and – where spectacles or other optical products are advised – finalise and confirm the sale. This is a telephone-based consultation and sales role rather than a bench-dispensing post, so we’re looking for someone who’s just as confident on the phone as they are with clinical dispensing knowledge.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a fully remote position, so you’ll need a quiet, professional space to work from home and a reliable internet connection.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Following up by phone with patients and/or their next of kin after domiciliary eye exams to explain results and recommendations
- Recommending suitable frames, lenses, and coatings based on each patient’s prescription and lifestyle
- Handling questions and pricing conversations confidently to convert enquiries into confirmed orders
- Processing orders accurately, checking all dispensing details are correct
- Keeping clear records of calls and following up promptly where needed
- Working closely with our field-based optometry team for a smooth patient journey
- Providing patient, compassionate care — especially important with elderly or vulnerable residents
