So, you’re a proactive people person ready to be the friendly face our stores need? Sounds like you’d be a great fit here. So, if you’ve had previous optical experience as an Optical Advisor or Dispensing Assistant, this Optical Assistant role could be perfect for you.

However, if you're keen to learn and happy working in busy fast paced environments with exceptional customer service and people skills then we would like to hear from you.

As an Optical Assistant, you’ll use your passion for the Specsavers brand, products and services alongside your incredible customer service skills, to create an outstanding store environment for both our customers and our team.

Based in Lancaster, our store is looking for someone with a passion for Optics.

As well as all the support you need and great training and development opportunities, we have a whole load of benefits on offer for you to enjoy. These include:

• Part time - Saturday 09:00 - 17:00 and Sunday 10:30 - 16:30
• Salary - £9.00 - £12.41 per hour (Depending on experience)
• Bonus after probation
• Opportunity to progress to cert 3 and cert 4
• Specsavers Perks – our discounted benefits scheme
• 28 days holiday including Bank holiday plus a day off for your birthday
• enhanced company sick pay after passing 3 month probation

If this is still sounding like a bit of you, we do need you to have a few skills to get started as an Optical Assistant. These include:

• Previous optical experience as an Optical Advisor or Dispensing Assistant
• A passion for developing within Optics
• Passion for providing excellent customer service and making customers’ lives easier
• Great teamwork
• A good initiative
• Confidence in using IT systems
• Excellent communication and listening skills
• Prepared to step out of your comfort zone and try something new
• Able to receive feedback and be open to development, knowing we’ll be there to support and guide you throughout your process (with your openness and our guidance, your opportunities will be endless).

If you’ve got all these skills, we’d love for you to apply, but there’s also some desirable experience that could set you apart from the competition if you have it.

This includes:

• Previous experience in a fast-paced customer service environment
• Experience in optics or Audiology business
• Basic knowledge/experience of optical and/or Audiology terminology.
