Optical Practice Manager Full Time Mainly Mon-Fri (alternate Saturdays only) Salary: £30,000-£35,000 (depending on experience/qualification) + bonuses + benefits
This is your chance to take the reins of a busy community practice - a role that combines hands-on dispensing with management responsibility. Whether you're a GOC-registered Dispensing Optician or an experienced dispenser ready to step up, this could be the move you've been waiting for. Why this role stands out:
* Work-life balance - alternate Saturdays only, and the practice closes for Christmas.
* One-hour lunch break - time to reset properly.
* Free on-site parking - save time, save money.
* £30K-£35K + bonuses depending on experience/qualification.
* Pension, professional fees (if applicable), training, and development support.
What you'll be doing:
* Leading from the front - dispensing daily while managing staff and operations.
* Overseeing rotas, stock control, merchandising, and compliance.
* Driving commercial results in an NHS-focused practice with scope for private upsells.
* Building, mentoring, and motivating a small, supportive team.
What we're looking for:
* A GOC-registered DO or a strong, experienced dispenser with leadership potential.
* Hands-on, approachable, and commercially aware.
* A confident communicator who can balance patient care with business goals.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a management role that still keeps you close to patients - with the perks, salary, and work-life balance to match. Call Marc at Inspired Recruitment Group on WhatsApp:
