About the Opportunity

The patient journey here is highly personal. Patients aren't left to browse frames alone. They are guided, styled and advised. Time is taken to understand who they are, what they want and how they want to feel when they leave.
Frames aren't simply sold, they are carefully selected. Recommendations aren't transactional, they're thoughtful and personal. The result is a loyal patient base that values expertise, trust and genuine relationships.
The team are looking for somebody who embraces that approach and enjoys being involved in every stage of the patient experience.
Professional dispensing knowledge is important, but attitude, enthusiasm and initiative are valued just as highly.
