The Opportunity
A very exciting opportunity has become available for an experienced Practice Manager to join a well-established optical Opticians in Northwest London.
This is an excellent opportunity for somebody who enjoys leading people, developing teams and driving performance, but would like something a little different from the traditional high-street optical environment.
The position offers a varied working week, combining office-based management with time spent supporting colleagues across the wider business.
You’ll play an important role in ensuring the team is motivated, day-to-day operations run smoothly and high standards of patient care are consistently maintained.
Above all, they’re looking for somebody with a great attitude, excellent people skills and the confidence to lead from the front.

Previous experience within optics would be particularly relevant, especially for somebody looking to broaden their management responsibilities.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
