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.

  • Order, dispense and collect glasses and contact lenses
  • Support with eye-tests and pre-screening activities
  • Provide aftercare support through repairs and adjustments
  • Complete operational and administrative tasks associated with dispensing prescriptions
  • Maintain shop floor standards
