Dispensing Optician Office Based​/Dispensing

Dispensing Optician - Kent - Office Based / Dispensing About the Opportunity

This is a genuinely different kind of Dispensing Optician role. You'll be joining a family‑run, domiciliary optician that delivers high‑quality eye care directly to patients in a care home setting. The focus here is on time, relationships and meaningful care — not targets or conveyor‑belt dispensing.

If you enjoy variety, autonomy and meeting people from all walks of life, this role offers a refreshing alternative to traditional practice‑based work.

Your week will be deliberately split to give you balance and variety:

• Out in the field: Accompanying the Optometrist on care‑home visits, supporting patients with frame selection, dispensing advice and personalised recommendations.
• Office‑based days: Coordinating lens and frame orders, liaising with suppliers, updating families on progress and ensuring every dispense is delivered accurately, smoothly and on time. You'll play a key role in ensuring continuity of care from consultation through to delivery and after‑care.

• GOC‑registered Dispensing Optician
• Comfortable working independently and out in the community
• Patient‑focused, personable and organised
• Enjoys variety and building genuine relationships with patients
• Full driving licence preferred due to domiciliary work

• Total flexibility on salary, hours and working pattern
• A refreshing alternative to high‑street practice life
• A role split between being out on the road and office‑based work
• Exposure to a wide range of patients, settings and experiences
• Supportive, close‑knit team with a strong purpose and values
• The opportunity to make a real difference to people who truly value your care
