While Opticians, Leicester
Dispensing Optician – Be Yourself, Do It Your Way
Join one of the oldest established opticians in the country– While Opticians, proudly serving since 1868 and still pushing boundaries today. We’re not about conveyor-belt optics. We’re about people, personal style, and doing things the right way.
We’re looking for a qualified Dispensing Optician who’s ready to bring their expertise to a warm, friendly, and truly independent practice. At While Opticians, we do things differently. Think niche designer frames, a genuinely patient-first approach, and the freedom to use your dispensing skills the way they were meant to be used.
If you’re passionate about:
• Matching patients with frames that reflect who they are
• Working with unique, design-led eyewear you won’t find everywhere
• Being part of a team that values quality over quantity
Then we’d love to meet you.
What’s in it for you?
• Salary up to £32,000 DOE pro rata 4-5 days with alternate Friday/Saturdays
• Free parking seconds from the practice – no more stressful commutes
• 28 days holiday (including bank holidays) plus your birthday off
• Simply Health cover – because your wellbeing matters
• A supportive team where your voice is heard and your expertise valued
This is your chance to step into a role where you can truly make a difference.
