Ipswich, United Kingdom Talentshed Full time

300 words will never tell you everything about this Optical Assistant opportunity role based in Ipswich and surrounding areas. At this stage, you probably just want to know the key details before deciding whether to take it further.

So, here’s 5 things you need to know about this Optical Assistant role in the Ipswich area:

- Up to £29,000 package (incl. up to £27,000 salary + £2,000 yearly bonus) plus benefits incl. fully expensed company car
- No weekend work - work simply Monday to Friday (most days you'll be finishing around 3pm)
- An optical role with a huge amount of variation (very different to the typical high-street position) with the chance to work from home for 1-2 days
- Domiciliary role where you’ll travel around a small radius in your local community providing prescription glasses in patient’s homes (working alongside an Optometrist and another Optical Assistant)
- Deliver a life-changing service to patients that unable to visit the high street - this opportunity would suit an Optical Assistant with a passion for patient care

We do things a little differently at talentshed. We’re not going to tell you every job is your perfect next role, instead, we’ll tell you the things you need to know from the off then have a proper conversation with you to help you establish if this is the opportunity for you.
