About Us
We are a modern independent optical practice passionate about helping people see clearly and feel confident in their eyewear. We pride ourselves on offering a personalised experience and carefully curated eyewear collections you won’t find on the high street.
We’re looking for an Eyewear Stylist who loves working with people, has a natural sense of style, and enjoys helping clients find frames that truly suit them.
The Role
As an Eyewear Stylist, you will guide patients through their eyewear journey following their eye examination. Your role is to help them choose frames and lenses that suit their face shape, lifestyle, personality, and prescription needs.
This is a customer-focused role combining styling, retail sales, and exceptional service.
