When you join Bayfields Opticians and Audiologists, you are joining an independent business.

At Bayfields, we are passionate about the services we provide our clients so as our Optical Assistant, you will be the first point of contact for anyone visiting or contacting your practice. 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.

Ideally, we would like somebody with experience as an Optical Assistant. This is a very busy practice so we need somebody who has excellent IT skills with excellent communication and listening skills and the ability to build strong relationships with your team members, peers, and clients. As an integral member of the team, we will provide an enjoyable professional working environment which is fun, open and where we are committed to supporting you, your professional development, and your personal wellbeing. We will also provide a wide range of benefits, including:
