Dispensing Optician - Kent - Office Based / Dispensing

Dispensing Optician

Location: Kent (domiciliary & office-based)
Salary: Fully flexible / open to discussion
Hours: Completely flexible - full-time, part-time or bespoke patterns considered
Contract: Permanent or self-employed options available

About the Opportunity

This is a genuinely different kind of Dispensing Optician role.
You'll be joining a family-run, domiciliary optician that delivers high-quality eye care directly to patients in a care home setting. The focus here is on time, relationships and meaningful care - not targets or conveyor-belt dispensing.

If you enjoy variety, autonomy and meeting people from all walks of life, this role offers a refreshing alternative to traditional practice-based work.

The Role

Your week will be deliberately split to give you balance and variety:

• Out in the field:
  Accompanying the Optometrist on care-home visits, supporting patients with frame selection, dispensing advice and personalised recommendations.
• Office-based days:
  Coordinating lens and frame orders, liaising with suppliers, updating families on progress and ensuring every dispense is delivered accurately, smoothly and on time.

You'll play a key role in ensuring continuity of care from consultation through to delivery and aftercare.

About You

• GOC-registered Dispensing Optician
• Comfortable working independently and out in the community
• Patient-focused, personable and organised
• Enjoys variety and building genuine relationships with patients
• Full driving licence preferred due to domiciliary work

What's On Offer

• Total flexibility on salary, hours and working pattern
• A refreshing alternative to high-street practice life
• A role split between being out on the road and office-based work
• Exposure to a wide range of patients, settings and experiences
• Supportive, close-knit team with a strong purpose and values
• The opportunity to make a real difference to people who truly value your care
