Job title
Dispensing optician, Petersfield
Job Description
This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of your career within a thriving, independent practice that values expertise, exceptional patient care, and a supportive team culture.
We are seeking a full-time dispensing optician to deliver the outstanding dispensing experience our patients know and trust. Working alongside two experienced optometrist owners, you’ll be part of a friendly, busy independent practice where clinical excellence and personal service are at the heart of everything we do.
This is a unique opportunity for a confident, proactive professional who enjoys autonomy and wants to play a key role in the continued success of an independent business. You will take responsibility for all aspects of ophthalmic dispensing, including frame styling and selection, adjustments, repairs, spectacle checking, and frame purchasing. Experience with remote edging and workshop skills would be an advantage, but enthusiasm, professionalism, and a commitment to outstanding patient care are what matter most.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
