Optical Assistant Thame (OX29 2BL)
We are looking for an experienced Optical Assistant to join our amazing team in Thame for 5 days / 40 hours per week (Monday to Saturday 9am – 5:30pm).
When you join Bayfields Opticians and Audiologists as our Optical Assistant, you are joining an independent business. Although we are national, we are not a huge chain which means we understand the importance of local relationships and the power of choice. We have the latest diagnostic equipment, the latest technological advances in contact lenses, spectacle lenses and frames, and the latest fashions.
At Bayfields, we are passionate about the services we provide our clients so as our experienced Optical Assistant, you will be the first point of contact for anyone visiting or contacting your practice. We want you to greet our clients in person as they arrive, or over the phone with a smile to make them feel valued and you will listen and understand their needs before taking ownership of their query. You will work closely with your Practice Manager, Optometrists, Audiologists, Dispensing Opticians and team members to determine the best solutions for our clients and focus on delivering obsessively great service at every step in the Bayfields client journey. We need an experienced Optical Assistant with experience of dispensing single focus lenses, multi-focal lenses and contact lenses. Maintain product displays and ensure the store is tidy and presentable.
• Previous experience in optical retail.
As an integral member of the Bayfields team, we will provide our Optical Assistant with an enjoyable professional working environment which is fun, open and where we are committed to supporting you, your personal wellbeing and your professional development which will involve you being on our Front of House Development course. This Bayfields Opticians & Audiologists course will take you through our client journey, an introduction to Contact Lenses, an introduction to the Eye and its Anatomy to understanding spectacle frames and lenses but most importantly giving you the opportunity to network and learn with your colleagues from other practices. You will participate in workshops that demonstrate the various types of optical screening equipment in practice and how to carry out basic repairs and adjustments. If you are an enthusiastic, customer-focused Optical Assistant, and looking for a new rewarding role, we would love to hear from you!
