Optical Assistant – Independent Practice – Glasgow
At Inspired Recruitment Group, we understand that exploring a new opportunity can feel like a big step. That’s why we approach every conversation with care, complete confidentiality, and absolutely no pressure.
If you’re an experienced Optical Assistant looking for a fresh start in a genuinely supportive, independent practice – this could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
The Opportunity
This is a well-established independent practice where the focus is firmly on patient care over targets.
You’ll be working in a relaxed, friendly environment with 40-minute appointment times, giving you the space to do your job properly – no rushing, no conveyor belt feel.
The practice is modern and well-equipped, including OCT, and offers a carefully selected range of premium frames such as Tom Ford, Oliver Peoples, Oakley and Ray-Ban.
With a small, close-knit team, your voice will be heard and your contribution genuinely valued.

” No Sunday or bank holiday working
” 40-minute test times

The Role
You’ll play a key part in the patient journey, supporting with:
” Dispensing and frame styling
” Lens advice tailored to individual needs
” Fittings, adjustments, and aftercare
” Handling patient queries and concerns with care
” General day-to-day support within the practice
This is a role where you’ll be trusted to use your experience and judgement – with the time and support to deliver a high standard of care.
About You
You’ll already have experience working within optics and feel confident supporting patients from start to finish.
Just as importantly, you’ll be someone who:
” Enjoys building rapport with patients
” Takes pride in delivering quality over quantity
” Works well as part of a team
” Wants to be part of a practice where people genuinely look out for each other
