About the role

As an Optical Consultant you will be a fundamental part of our Boots Opticians store team, being the first and last person that our customers interact with.

Your role within the team as an Optical Consultant will give you lots of opportunities to develop your knowledge through our industry-leading ‘Step Into Optics’ training programme. This programme includes both workshop-based learning and practical ‘on the job’ experience. You will also:
  • Order, dispense and collect glasses and contact lenses

  • Provide aftercare support through repairs and adjustments
  • Complete operational and administrative tasks associated with dispensing prescriptions
  • Maintain shop floor standards
