Optical Assistant

Specsavers. A household name and a high street staple. And you could be part of the team.  

If you’re a proactive people person ready to be the friendly face our stores needs, it sounds like you’d be a great fit here. If you have current or previous optical experience as an Optical Advisor or Dispensing Assistant, this Optical Assistant role could be perfect for you.  

As an Optical Assistant, you’ll use your passion for the Specsavers brand, products and services alongside your incredible customer service skills, to create an outstanding store environment for both our customers and our team.

Our Store

Paisley is a large, busy, and well-established store with seven test rooms (typically running around five clinics), an on-site lab, two Dispensing Opticians, and a highly experienced team. With around eight colleagues on the shop floor at any one time, it's a well-functioning environment that benefits from strong support and expertise across the store.

Complementing this, Barrhead is a smaller, close-knit two-test-room store, offering a more intimate team environment while still delivering great customer care and support.
