Our Optical Managers are key to our success, ensuring the team has everything needed to deliver high-quality service. Our fixed-price approach means no up-selling, with the same price for single vision glasses and varifocals, and no top-up costs for anti-scratch or thinner lenses. You will be supported by our Home Office teams and Area Managers, receiving regular updates and feedback. Your responsibilities include managing optometrists and optical assistants, overseeing compliance, reviewing sales forecasts and targets, and handling customer queries. You will also manage clinic operations and shop floor processes, ensuring the department meets customer needs. Working closely with an optometrist, you'll coach and develop your team. Organizational skills and effective time management are essential in this fast-paced role.
