We’re Hiring: Dispensing Optician – Be Yourself, Do It Your Way
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 a qualified Dispensing Optician who’s ready to bring their expertise to a warm, friendly, and truly independent practice.

If you’re passionate about:
• Matching patients with frames that reflect who they are
• Working with unique, design-led eyewear you won’t find everywhere
• Being part of a team that values quality over quantity
Then we’d love to meet you.
You will also receive:
1. Your birthday off work
2. No Sunday or bank holiday working
3. Free & regular CPD courses
4. Access to Simply Health (claim cashback on healthcare purchases)
5. Retail discounts
6. Cycle to work scheme
