We're Hiring - Dispensing Optician or Optical Assistant Wanted at The Optical Gallery

🟡 NOW HIRING: Dispensing Optician / Optical Assistant (Twickenham)

📍 Location: The Optical Gallery – Twickenham

🕐 Full Time (Some flexibility considered)


✨ Eyewear isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are.

At The Optical Gallery, we treat optics like culture. Our Twickenham flagship isn’t your average opticians. It’s a curated space where eyewear, art, and individuality collide. From luxury indies and runway brands to completely bespoke lenses, our clients come to us for pieces that express who they are, and they stay because of the team who bring that journey to life.


We're looking for someone to join that team. Someone confident, curious, and people-focused. Someone who gets excited by the idea of helping someone find that pair of glasses, the one they never want to take off.


🎯 Who we’re looking for:

  • A qualified Dispensing Optician or experienced Optical Assistant
  • OR… maybe you're not qualified yet, but you know you’re made for this. If you’ve got great energy, attention to detail, and love the idea of building a career in styling and optics — we’ll provide full in-store training.
  • Passionate about fashion, individuality, and service
  • Obsessed with getting the details right, from frame fits to lens choices
  • Someone who thrives in a boutique environment with a close-knit team
  • Saturday availability is essential
  • Bonus points if you're comfortable with email, databases, or socials (but not a dealbreaker)

 

👁️ What you’ll be doing:

  • Dispensing optical and prescription eyewear
  • Styling clients in independent, vintage, and niche collections
  • Supporting lens choices, orders, adjustments and fittings
  • Learning from a team with serious experience, and lots of flair
  • Being part of the wider Optical Gallery brand, including events, collaborations, and content creation

 

💛 What’s in it for you:

  • A key role in one of the UK’s most fashion-forward, award-winning optical practices
  • Full access to training in our eyewear styling and lens journey process
  • A stylish and inspiring workspace in the heart of Twickenham
  • Competitive pay, bonus structure and plenty of room to grow
  • Great coffee. Even better company.



📩 How to apply:

Send us a message or email your CV to accounts@opticalgallery.co.uk with a few lines about why you think this role fits you.

Experience helps, but energy and enthusiasm go a long way, so if you think you’re the one, don’t hold back.
