It goes without saying that you'll possess excellent communication and presentation skills, be articulate, motivated to achieve and have a willingness to learn and progress within Optical Express.

  • Ensure the practice is presentable and maintained to the highest standards of tidiness and cleanliness which showcase the professional image of Optical Express
  • Help recruit, induct, coach and support your team to ensure all team members meet acceptable levels of knowledge and competence
  • Ensure the team influences and advises potential patients on the most suitable and appropriate solution for their needs
