About the Role
At Asda, nothing is more important to us than the health and wellbeing of our customers. We pride ourselves on providing excellent service and clinical care. Our Optical Managers are key to our success, ensuring the team has everything needed to deliver for our patients and the business.
Our unique fixed-price approach simplifies dispensing for our patients and colleagues. Single vision glasses are priced the same as varifocals, with no top-up costs for anti-scratch or thinner lenses, allowing us to provide optimal eyecare solutions regardless of patient budget.
You will be supported by our Home Office teams, who offer clinical support, and Area Managers, who work alongside you to maximize your role's effectiveness.
Responsibilities
You'll oversee and manage the Optical Department, including managing your team of Optometrists and Optical assistants, ensuring compliance, reviewing sales forecasts and department targets, and handling customer queries. Daily activities are busy and fast-paced.
You will also manage clinic operations and shop floor processes to meet customer needs. Working closely with an Optometrist, you'll coach and develop your team, so confidence in coaching is essential. Organizational skills and effective time management are crucial due to the role's dynamic nature.
