  • 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

  • Passion for customer care
  • Enthusiasm for learning and personal development
