We want you to greet our clients in person as they arrive, or over the phone with a smile to make them feel valued and you will listen and understand their needs before taking ownership of their query. You will work closely with the Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians to determine the best solutions for our clients and focus on delivering obsessively great service at every step in the Bayfields client journey.

We need an experienced Optical Assistant as this is a very busy practice. We would like somebody with excellent IT skills.
