Dispensing Optician Manager | London | Luxury Independent Practice | £45,000 DOE
Work side by side with the Director of a luxury independent practice, turning long-term plans into day-to-day reality.
About the Opportunity
Zest Optical are supporting a luxury, boutique independent practice in South West London.
It's a long-established, Director-led business with a loyal patient base and strong clinical foundations.
That includes advanced OCT imaging, dry eye treatment and myopia management for children, alongside a carefully chosen collection of independent and designer eyewear.
The vision for what comes next is clear: a more personal, more considered, genuinely premium experience at every step of the patient journey.
In practice, that means patients are styled rather than left to browse.
The frame display is deliberately edited, with much of the collection held back so every recommendation feels personal rather than picked off a wall.
There are trunk shows, community events and bespoke patient journeys that give people a reason to come back, and a reason to tell their friends.
The Director is looking for a Dispensing Optician to work alongside them as a genuine right hand, someone who can take that vision and make it happen day to day.
The Role
Dispensing Optician Manager role within a well-established, luxury independent practice in South West London
Work closely with the owner to develop and drive the business, turning longer-term plans into day-to-day reality
Shape and deliver a styling-led patient experience, where the consultation comes first and carefully chosen product second
Plan and run trunk shows, brand events and community activity that raise the practice's profile and build patient loyalty
Lead and develop the team so the premium experience is consistent, whoever the patient sees
Keep a close eye on how the practice is performing, including dispensing conversion, average order value and event results, and turn what you see into practical improvements
Stay hands-on as a dispenser and set the standard for how patients are looked after
What We're Looking For
GOC-registered Dispensing Optician
Management or leadership experience in practice.
The title matters less than what you've actually driven and improved
A real eye for style and confidence in guiding patients towards eyewear that suits who they are, not just their prescription
Commercial instinct: comfortable with numbers and growth without losing warmth with patients
Ideas, energy and ownership.
You'll want to try things, run events and take responsibility for the results
Someone who wants to operate at a higher level and has outgrown simply running a busy dispensing floor
What's on Offer
Salary up to £45,000, depending on experience
A senior, influential role working directly with the owner, with real input into where the business goes
A premium, design-led environment built around time and care rather than volume
Freedom to shape events, patient journeys and the overall experience
Supportive, close-knit independent practice culture
Interested?
This is one for a Dispensing Optician who's ready to step beyond running the day and start shaping what a practice can be.

Optical Assistant | Didsbury, Manchester | Part Time (2-4 Days/Wk, inc.

Led by an experienced independent Optometrist, the practice combines clinical excellence with genuine style consultations, and has built a loyal following of patients who come back for the experience as much as the eyewear.
The Role
Optical Assistant role within a well-established, proudly independent practice in Didsbury Village, Manchester
Part time, working 2-4 days per week including a Saturday - exact working pattern to be agreed with the right candidate
Support patients through frame selection, style consultations and day-to-day dispensing
Help maintain the polished, welcoming feel the practice is known for, from browsing the collection through to collecting new glasses

Dispensing Optician | Manchester City Centre | Bespoke Styling Practice | Up to £33,000 + Bonus Potential £12,000+
Some practices dispense glasses.
This one choreographs an experience - the coffee, the music, the curated tray of frames chosen just for you - and has built one of the most talked-about reputations in the country doing it.
At a Glance
Dispensing Optician (Styling Consultant) role, Manchester city centre
Up to £33,000 salary + bonus potential exceeding £12,000
Full time, 9:00am-5:30pm, one full weekend off per month
No rushed dispenses - full styling consultations built around the individual
About the Opportunity
Zest Optical are working in partnership with one of the UK's most respected boutique styling practices, based in the heart of Manchester city centre.
This isn't a practice that dispenses off a rack.
Every client goes through a full styling consultation - getting to know their lifestyle, their personality, what they actually want to feel like in a frame - before a tray of hand-picked options is curated just for them.
Every touchpoint is considered.
The coffee is locally roasted.
The music is chosen.
The pace is unhurried.
It's a service philosophy borrowed from the best names in hospitality as much as from optics, and it shows: a five-star reputation built on hundreds of genuine reviews, a client base that returns for decades, and a calendar that includes trunk shows, collection launches and team socials rather than just another week on the shop floor.
Opticians travel from across the UK and internationally just to see how this practice does what it does - this is very much the flagship for that way of working.
The Role
Lead full styling consultations - understanding a client's lifestyle, features and personal style before curating their tray of frames
Guide clients through a genuinely bespoke eyewear journey, not a transactional dispense
Build long-term relationships with clients who return again and again, often for years
Get involved in trunk shows, collection launches and events that showcase the practice's range
Work alongside a small, close-knit team who take real pride in the standard they deliver
Be part of a practice actively shaping what "best in class" looks like for the wider industry
What We're Looking For
GOC-registered Dispensing Optician
Someone who sees eyewear as identity and personal style, not just a prescription solution
A natural, warm communicator who can build genuine rapport quickly
Comfortable being coached to a very high service standard - this is closer to luxury retail or hospitality than a typical optical role
Genuine excitement at the idea of working somewhere this considered, rather than intimidated by it
Salary & Benefits
Salary up to £33,000
Bonus potential exceeding £12,000 per year
9:00am-5:30pm, Monday to Saturday, with one full weekend off per month
Access to trunk shows, supplier events and industry-leading training
The chance to learn from a practice that other opticians travel to study
Interested?
This is a rare one, and it won't suit everyone - but for the right person, it's about as good as boutique optical gets in the UK.
For a confidential conversation, click the 'Apply' link, or contact Kieran Lindley on WhatsApp for more information. ....Read more...

The Role
Dispensing Optician role within a well-established, luxury independent practice in Wokingham
