Love Eyewear, Fashion and Helping People Feel Their Best?
At Leightons Opticians & Hearing Care, we believe the perfect pair of glasses does more than improve vision. It builds confidence, reflects personality and helps people express their individual style.
We're looking for an experienced Mobile Optical Dispensing Assistant to support our practices across Surrey. If you enjoy working with people, have a passion for eyewear and thrive in a varied role where no two days are the same, we'd love to hear from you.
This isn't your typical practice-based role. You'll travel between Leightons locations, bringing exceptional service, optical expertise and styling advice to patients across the region.
What Makes This Role Different?
- ✅ Work across multiple Leightons practices
- ✅ Company car or car allowance provided
- ✅ Combine eyewear styling with optical dispensing
- ✅ Meet new people and work with different teams every week
- ✅ Build your experience across a respected independent optical group
- ✅ Make a genuine difference to patients' confidence and quality of life

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.
