- Booking in eye tests
- Pre-screening patients
- Providing style advice
- Measuring frames
- Taking phone calls
What will you gain?
Your on-the-job training will sit alongside structured learning that will lead to a nationally recognised qualification. At the end of your apprenticeship, you’ll be a fully-fledged Level 3 Optical Assistant. Over the course of 15-18 months with us, you’ll:
- Earn a salary - paid monthly
- Gain valuable work experience in a full-time role
- Receive comprehensive and structured training, supported by a qualified assessor
- Deliver high-quality products and services in an innovative retail environment
- Become part of a team working towards a common goal
- Be entitled to paid holidays
On top of everything we have to offer our apprentices, we’re just as happy to learn from you too! In this role, a head full of ideas will certainly come in handy and could make a real difference to how we do things right across the business. With us, you’ll always have the opportunity to make a difference. Even though we’re a relatively large company, the entrepreneurial spirit that got us off the ground is still at the heart of everything we do.
