Dispensing Optician Vacancy - David Russell Opticians, Tiptree
We’re a friendly, community focused, independent opticians based in Tiptree who have been delivering excellent personal service and a high level of eye care to families since 1986.
As a Dispensing Optician with us, you’ll be part of a close-knit group that values your skills, supports your growth, and encourages you to thrive. You’ll have the freedom to do what’s right for each patient, without the pressure of quick turnarounds or sales targets, so if you’re looking for a practice where your experience and knowledge is valued, with a team that works collaboratively - a role with us could be right for you.
About the role:
We’re looking for a part-time Dispensing Optician to join us in delivering the kind of personalised, patient-first care we’re known for. You’ll play an important role in helping people see and feel their best, by offering expert advice, guiding them through frame and lens choices, and making sure every fit is as comfortable and accurate as it is stylish.
This role is perfect for someone who enjoys connecting with people, building trust with patients, and being part of a supportive, tight-knit team. You’ll have the time and freedom to do your job properly by providing honest, expert care. Working closely with the rest of the team, you’ll help create a smooth and positive experience for every patient who walks through the door.
As a qualified Dispensing Optician, you’ll use your technical skills and product knowledge to recommend the best lens and frame options for each individual’s visual and lifestyle needs. You’ll take accurate measurements, ensure high-quality fittings, and manage complex prescriptions or adjustments with confidence. You’ll also be on hand to support patients with queries or concerns, help the team resolve any dispensing-related issues, and contribute to the upkeep and organisation of the practice. Most importantly, you’ll be someone who takes pride in great service — and who brings warmth, care, and expertise to every interaction.
