Our Home Visits service covers the following postcodes: NW2, NW4, NW7, NW9, HA0, HA3, HA7, HA8 and HA9. Therefore, the ideal candidate will be based within one of these areas. 

You must be a confident driver, hold a full clean UK driving licence, have access to your own vehicle, and be a real people person.  Applications are welcomed, in particular from candidates from an optical, care or healthcare background. We carry and set up our equipment in each clinic, so it is important that you are physically able to do this multiple times per day.

We are seeking a highly motivated, friendly and reliable Domiciliary Optical Assistant to help support our customers and clinical team. Our ideal candidate will have previous optical experience and be able to dispense at all levels, measure and fit, although not essential. For us, it is about getting people with the right attitude, personality and drive to work hard.  To work within the London 8 Domiciliary Team, we can train and teach you all things optical, but you need to be a real people person, have the ability to strike up a chat with pretty much anyone and be able to demonstrate this at interview, and also of course, be happy to work hard to help each and every one of our customers, as you will be responsible for delivering a professional service our patients in their own homes and in some care home settings.

On a daily basis you will be carrying out clinics as well as delivering glasses to patients, so you must be able to work on your own initiative and be confident when dealing with customers.  Our patients are pretty special, so we are looking for someone who is enthusiastic with a kind and friendly demeanour.

If you’ve got all these skills, we’d love for you to apply, but there’s also some desirable experience that could set you apart from the competition if you have it.

This includes:

• Previous experience in a fast-paced customer facing environment
• Experience in optical environment
• Basic knowledge/experience of optical
• Be confident using new systems as well as tablet and/or laptop

Checked all the boxes? Now’s the perfect time to apply!
