Qualified Practice Manager Required for Independent Practcie

Dispensing Optician Manager Independent Optical Practice (Alton)

We're working with a well-established independent optical practice in Alton that's looking to recruit a confident and patient-focused Dispensing Optician Manager to lead their friendly and experienced team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a qualified DO who enjoys combining high-quality dispensing with hands-on leadership in a genuinely supportive independent environment.

If you're looking for more autonomy, stronger patient relationships, and the chance to play a key role in the day-to-day success of a respected practice, this is a role well worth considering.

The Practice

This long-standing independent practice has built an excellent reputation locally through:

Exceptional patient care A strong clinical and customer service focus Loyal, long-standing patients High-quality eyewear and tailored dispensing A relaxed, professional working environment The team pride themselves on delivering a more personal optical experience, where patients are given the time, attention, and honest advice they deserve.

The Role

As DO Manager, you'll take ownership of both dispensing and operational leadership within the practice.

Responsibilities will include:

Delivering expert dispensing advice tailored to patient needs Supporting patients with frame styling and lens solutions Leading and motivating the practice team day to day Ensuring an exceptional patient journey throughout Supporting clinic flow and diary organisation Managing day-to-day operational standards within the practice Handling adjustments, fittings, repairs, and aftercare Helping drive the continued success and reputation of the business This is a hands-on management role where you'll be heavily involved in both patient care and team leadership.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a genuine independent environment where:

Quality of care comes before targets Staff are trusted and valued You'll have real autonomy within the practice Patients are loyal and relationship-driven The atmosphere is supportive, stable, and team-focused It's an excellent opportunity for either an experienced DO Manager or a strong DO looking to step into leadership.
