At Inspired Recruitment Group, we understand that exploring a new job opportunity can feel like a big step. That’s why we approach every conversation with care, confidentiality and absolutely no pressure.
We’re working with a well-established independent optical practice in West Sussex that is looking to welcome an experienced Optical Assistant to their close-knit team. If you enjoy a varied role where no two days are the same and have hands-on glazing experience, this could be the perfect opportunity.

The Opportunity

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a friendly, patient-focused independent practice with an on-site glazing laboratory.

The Practice

” Well-established independent optical practice.
” High street location in West Sussex.
” On-site glazing laboratory.
” Steady patient flow.
” Free parking available on-site.
” Strong focus on personalised patient care rather than sales.

The Team

You’ll be joining a welcoming team of four, working closely alongside an experienced Dispensing Optician/Optometrist and Optical Assistants who genuinely support one another to provide the highest standard of care.

The Role

This is a varied position where you’ll split your time between the practice floor and the glazing lab.
Your responsibilities will include:

” Glazing spectacles
” Assisting patients throughout their optical journey.
” Repairs and frame adjustments.
” Dispensing and frame styling.
” General administration and supporting the day-to-day running of the practice.

About You

We’re looking for someone who:

” Has previous Optical Assistant experience.
” Has practical glazing experience (essential).
” Enjoys working directly with patients.

” 34.75 hours per week.
” Five-day working week.
” One Saturday off every month.
” Free parking.
” Supportive independent practice.
” Long-term career opportunity.

Why Join?

If you’re looking to move away from a target-driven environment and join a practice where quality patient care comes first, this is a brilliant opportunity. You’ll be part of a friendly, experienced team where your glazing skills will be genuinely valued and you’ll have the chance to make a real difference every day.
For a confidential conversation or to find out more, I’d love to hear from you.
