Every conversation we have is handled with care, complete confidentiality, and absolutely no pressure. If you're a qualified Dispensing Optician with management experience and fancy stepping into a role where you can genuinely make an impact, this could be well worth a look. The Package Salary between £35,000 - £38,000 GOC fees paid 33 days holiday Structured working pattern including 1 weekend day Real long-term development opportunities Future pathway possibilities including wider leadership roles The Opportunity A well-respected multiple group is looking for a confident and clinically strong Dispensing Optician Manager to take the lead on the shop floor within a busy, growing high-street practice in Hertfordshire. This is a hands-on management role where your clinical knowledge and leadership will be valued daily.

With testing volumes increasing and a busy period ahead, this is a key appointment - the right person will play a big part in shaping how the practice develops over the coming years. What You'll Be Doing Leading the clinical side of the practice day-to-day Supporting the optical team with technical queries and patient care Coaching and developing staff, including onboarding new starters Monitoring KPIs and maintaining high clinical and service standards Working closely with leadership to drive performance and growth Helping maintain a smooth, well-organised working environment You won't be left to figure everything out alone - there's already a strong, dynamic team in place, and support is available to help you develop further management skills such as appraisals and disciplinaries if needed. The Practice Busy high-street location 3 test rooms (2 optics, 1 hearing) Team of around 8 colleagues day-to-day Strong team culture with experienced Optometrists and retail staff Growing patient demand with increasing test volumes A varied role that keeps things interesting - no two days the same What We're Looking For Qualified Dispensing Optician (GOC registered) At least 2 years' management or supervisory experience Someone confident handling clinical queries and team support A positive leader who leads from the front Drive, determination and genuine passion for optics Willingness to grow with the business long-term Supervisors or Assistant Managers from busy stores may also be considered if ready for the next step. Why This Role Stands Out A genuinely important position within a growing business Supportive team already in place Clear opportunity to influence the direction of the practice Long-term career progression potential - not just another job Interested in finding out more? If you're curious but not quite ready to commit, that's perfectly fine - a confidential chat costs nothing and might open the door to something better.
