When you join Bayfields Opticians and Audiologists as our Optical Assistant, you are joining an independent business. Although we are national, we are not a huge chain which means we understand the importance of local relationships and the power of choice. We aim to deliver obsessively great service to each and every one of our clients which is at the core of what we do. We have the latest diagnostic equipment, the latest technological advances in contact lenses, spectacle lenses and frames, and the latest fashions.

At Bayfields, we are passionate about the services we provide our clients so as our Optical Assistant, you will be the first point of contact for anyone visiting or contacting our practice. We want you to greet our clients in person as they arrive, or over the phone with a smile to make them feel valued and you will listen and understand their needs before taking ownership of their query.

As our Optical Assistant, you will work closely with the Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians to determine the best solutions for our clients and focus on delivering obsessively great service at every step in the Bayfields client journey. Due to the nature of the practice, we want an experienced Optical Assistant. This is a very busy practice so we need somebody who has excellent IT skills with excellent communication and listening skills and the ability to build strong relationships with your team members, peers, and clients.

We are unable to provide a Certificate of Sponsorship for this role.

If you are ready for a new and exciting opportunity, then we would love to hear from you!
