Experienced Optical Assistant at While Opticians
Join one of the oldest established opticians in the country - While Opticians, proudly serving since 1868 and still pushing boundaries today. We’re not about conveyor-belt optics. We’re about people, personal style, and doing things the right way.
We’re looking for an experienced Optical Assistant who’s ready to bring their expertise to a warm, friendly, and truly independent practice.
If you love great eyewear, you'll feel right at home here. We stock a fantastic range of frames from all over the world, so it's a brilliant place for an Optical Assistant who enjoys helping people find something they love. We're also getting ready to launch a dry eye clinic. Over the last 30 years, we've built a strong reputation as specialists in children's vision, dyslexia and Colorimetry, with schools from across the county regularly referring children to us for assessments.
