Optical Assistant | Wokingham, Berkshire | Boutique Independent Practice | Up to £28,000 DOE
There's a difference between fitting glasses and helping someone find the pair that actually makes them feel like themselves.
In this practice, that difference is the whole point.
About the Opportunity
Zest Optical are supporting a luxury, boutique independent practice in Wokingham, Berkshire.
This is a personalised eyecare and original eyewear practice built around a simple idea: patients deserve better than a rushed dispense off a rack.
The collection reflects that - Tom Ford, Cutler and Gross, Garrett Leight, Lindberg, Moscot and Ørgreen Optics, all sitting within a considered, boutique environment where clinical excellence and genuine style advice go hand in hand.
This is a practice that invests in advanced diagnostic technology, takes the time to get eye examinations right, and treats every dispense as a chance to do something a little more special.
The Role
Optical Assistant role within a well-established, luxury independent practice in Wokingham

Support patients through personal frame consultations, children's dispenses and more complex lens requirements
Be part of a close-knit team where care, precision and product knowledge are all valued equally
What We're Looking For
Successful track record working within the optical industry already
A genuine interest in style, eyewear trends and premium/designer product
Strong communication skills and a naturally warm, unhurried approach with patients
Someone who takes pride in getting the detail right, from frame adjustment to lens choice
What's on Offer
Salary up to £28,000, depending on experience
A boutique, design-led working environment rather than a high-volume setup
The chance to work with genuinely exciting product
Supportive, close-knit independent practice culture
Professional fees and ongoing development supported
Interested?
This is one for an Optical Assistant who wants their day to be about more than volume - where care, craft and product all matter.

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.

Delivering a premium dispensing and eyewear experience
Working with high-quality lenses and an exciting collection of independent and luxury eyewear
Supporting the day-to-day running and performance of both practices

Dispensing Optician | Wokingham, Berkshire | Boutique Independent Practice | Up to £38,000 DOE
There's a difference between fitting glasses and helping someone find the pair that actually makes them feel like themselves.
In this practice, that difference is the whole point.
About the Opportunity
Zest Optical are supporting a luxury, boutique independent practice in Wokingham, Berkshire.
This is a personalised eyecare and original eyewear practice built around a simple idea: patients deserve better than a rushed dispense off a rack.
The collection reflects that - Tom Ford, Cutler and Gross, Garrett Leight, Lindberg, Moscot and Ørgreen Optics, all sitting within a considered, boutique environment where clinical excellence and genuine style advice go hand in hand.
This is a practice that invests in advanced diagnostic technology, takes the time to get eye examinations right, and treats every dispense as a chance to do something a little more special.
The Role
Dispensing Optician role within a well-established, luxury independent practice in Wokingham
Deliver a genuinely consultative dispensing experience - helping patients choose frames and lenses that suit their face, lifestyle and personality, not just their prescription
Work with a premium and designer frame range, including Tom Ford, Prada, Cutler and Gross, Lindberg and Moscot
Support patients through personal frame consultations, children's dispenses and more complex lens requirements
Be part of a close-knit team where care, precision and product knowledge are all valued equally
What We're Looking For
GOC-registered Dispensing Optician
A genuine interest in style, eyewear trends and premium/designer product
Strong communication skills and a naturally warm, unhurried approach with patients
Someone who takes pride in getting the detail right, from frame adjustment to lens choice
What's on Offer
Salary up to £36,000, depending on experience
A boutique, design-led working environment rather than a high-volume setup
The chance to work with genuinely exciting product
Supportive, close-knit independent practice culture
Professional fees and ongoing development supported
Interested?
This is one for a Dispensing Optician who wants their day to be about more than volume - where care, craft and product all matter.

Building trusted, long-term relationships with patients
Managing your own schedule when completing deliveries and visits

Opportunity to become involved in marketing and business development if of interest
As the company continues to grow, there will be plenty of opportunity to shape your position and take on additional responsibility.
About You
We're looking for an Optical Assistant who is personable, reliable and genuinely enjoys spending time with patients.
You'll have:
Previous Optical Assistant experience within an optical practice or domiciliary setting
A patient and personable approach
Confidence communicating with people from a wide variety of backgrounds
The ability to work independently and organise your own day
A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle
