Optical Assistant | Cheltenham, Gloucestershire | Family-Run Independent Practice | Up to £29,000 (Full-Time)
Some practices measure a good day by how many pairs went out the door.
This one measures it by how many smiles they put on people's faces.
About the Opportunity
Zest Optical are working in partnership with a growing, family-run independent opticians in Cheltenham - a relaxed, personality-led practice that's built its name on making people feel genuinely looked after, not just simply prescribed.
This isn't a traditional, formal practice.
The team know their regulars by name, ask how the kids are doing, and take real pride in helping people find eyewear that actually suits them.
As the practice continues to grow, they're looking for someone who'll fit that culture as naturally as they fit the role.
The Role
Optical Assistant role within a small, close-knit, family-run independent practice in Cheltenham
The focus here is dispensing and frame selection - genuinely helping patients choose eyewear that suits them, not rushing them through a sale
Build real relationships with patients, offering the kind of continuity and familiarity that keeps people coming back to the same friendly faces
Take ownership of your patients and see things through, rather than passing people along
Be part of a relaxed, informal team culture where new ideas are welcomed, not shut down
What We're Looking For
Previous experience within an optical practice, with a working understanding of the core aspects of dispensing
Above all, a natural people person - someone who enjoys conversation and connection as much as the product itself
The right attitude for a relaxed, informal environment rather than a corporate or high-pressure one
Excited about working with the finest products from across the globe
What's on Offer
Salary up to £29,000, full-time
A genuinely close-knit, family-run environment rather than a corporate or high-volume setup
Full training and support to bring you up to speed with the products and systems
The chance to build lasting relationships with the same patients, not one-off transactions
Interested?
If you're someone who sees the person above anything, and you want to be part of a small team that's growing on its own terms, this is worth a conversation.
