Dispensing Optician – Surrey Area
Salary: £33,000 – £37,000 (DOE)
Full Time | No Sundays | 1 Saturday off per Month
At Inspired Recruitment Group, we understand that considering a new role can feel like a big move — especially when you’re settled but curious about something better. That’s why every conversation with us is handled with complete confidentiality, no pressure, and a genuinely supportive approach.
We’re working with a well-established independent practice in the Surrey area that’s looking for a confident Dispensing Optician to join their experienced team. This is a proper independent environment — focused on patient care, quality dispensing, and doing the job properly rather than rushing people through like a supermarket checkout.
The Role
This is a hands-on dispensing role where you’ll be a key link between the consulting room and the patient journey.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Delivering first-class patient care with a friendly, professional manner
- Supporting patients through frame selection and lens recommendations
- Taking accurate measurements and ensuring the best possible fit
- Managing spectacle orders and liaising with suppliers when needed
- Carrying out quality checks, fittings, and minor repairs
- Supporting and guiding Optical Assistants when required
- Taking part in smooth handovers from the Optometrist to dispensing
- Maintaining accurate patient records and handling admin tasks properly
- Dealing with patient queries or concerns in a calm, professional way
- Keeping displays tidy, organised, and looking the part
What We’re Looking For
- Qualified Dispensing Optician (Level 6 Diploma in Ophthalmic Dispensing)
- Solid dispensing experience with confidence in patient care
- Strong communication skills and a professional approach
- Someone who takes pride in their work and enjoys being part of a team
- Comfortable using IT systems and keeping records up to date
The Package
- Salary £33,000 – £37,000 (DOE)
- No Sundays or Bank Holidays
- 1 Saturday off per month
- 33 days holiday including bank holidays
- Company pension with life assurance
- CPD and ongoing training support
- Staff and family discounts
- Incentive schemes
- Career progression opportunities
- Team events and a supportive working environment
- Company sick pay
- Employee assistance programme
- Additional perks and benefits package
A Role Worth Exploring
This is the sort of role that suits someone who enjoys proper dispensing, values patient relationships, and prefers working somewhere that still believes in doing things the right way.
If you’re quietly considering a change — even just testing the water — it’s worth a confidential chat.
