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.


The Role


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 aftercare.


About You



  • 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

What's On Offer



  • 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
