This well-established independent practice in North Manchester is looking for someone with strong leadership skills to oversee day‑to‑day operations, deliver excellent patient care, and help the practice thrive commercially.

What You’ll Be Doing:
* Dispensing a range of frames and lenses with precision and care
* Providing excellent customer service and creating a warm, welcoming environment
* Supporting the Optometrist on testing days and managing front‑of‑house operations
* Handling administrative tasks such as appointment bookings, payments, and stock management
* Overseeing the day‑to‑day running of the practice and ensuring everything runs smoothly
* Working independently on quieter, non‑testing days – maintaining high standards of organisation and patient care
* Participating in frame and product selection – your input will be valued
What We’re Looking For:
* Minimum 3 years’ experience in optics or at least 1 year as a lead dispenser
* Confident, reliable, and capable of working independently when needed
* Commercially aware and sales‑savvy, with a genuine passion for delivering great patient experiences
