Glasgow | £25,500 + Excellent Perks + Supportive Career Development

At Inspired Recruitment Group, we understand that exploring a new job opportunity can feel like a big step. That’s why we approach every conversation with care, confidentiality, and absolutely no pressure. If you’re an experienced Optical Assistant looking for a fresh start in a supportive, well-established practice, we’re here to help you take that step at your own pace.

This full-time, permanent role is with a trusted franchise of one of the UK’s best-known optical brands—known for putting its patients and people first.

Please note : We’re only able to consider Optical Assistants with at least 12 months’ experience in optics.

  • Location : Glasgow
  • Schedule : Full-time, including one weekend day (Saturday or Sunday)
  • Extras :
    • Paid day off for your birthday
    • £220 optical voucher for glasses or contact lenses
    • Occasional support at a nearby sister practice (if you’re happy to)

About the Practice

This high-street practice is well-run, welcoming, and consistently busy with a loyal patient base. You’ll be joining a close-knit team who genuinely care—about their patients and each other.

You’ll be encouraged to grow, whether you’re aiming to step into management, expand your clinical skills, or simply settle into a role that makes the most of your strengths. Your goals will be heard, supported and taken seriously.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Dispensing to all levels, including complex prescriptions
  • Pre-screening and contact lens teaches
  • Frame styling, adjustments, fittings, and repairs
  • Helping patients choose the best options for their needs
  • Supporting with front-of-house and admin duties
  • Taking on keyholder responsibilities when needed

What We’re Looking For

  • 12 months (or more) of experience in optics
  • Solid knowledge of dispensing and pre-testing
  • A people-first mindset and warm, professional manner
  • A willingness to learn and grow within the business
  • Someone who wants to be part of a team, not just do a job

What’s In It For You

  • A strong, steady base salary of £25,500
  • Birthday day off, fully paid
  • £220 to spend on your own glasses or contact lenses
  • Supportive working environment and team culture
  • Clear, realistic progression opportunities
