Join Specsavers as a Home Visits Optical Assistant in Grays and take your optical skills out into the Essex community. This permanent role is ideal if you enjoy patient care and want a fresh challenge, delivering a vital service to people who can’t easily visit a practice.

Key Responsibilities

- Assist with pre-test tasks, patient history, and accurate record keeping
- Help patients choose suitable frames and lenses, explain options clearly, and support ordering processes
- Maintain stock, equipment, and vehicle readiness to ensure a smooth daily schedule

What You'll Need
- Full UK driving licence and confidence driving for work across local routes
- Strong customer service skills with a calm, compassionate approach in patients’ homes
- Great attention to detail for paperwork, measurements, and patient information
- Optical experience is desirable (e.g., Optical Assistant), but training is available for the right person

Why Apply
Earn from £29,000 p/a with a trusted employer and enjoy a varied, rewarding role where you’ll make a real difference to patients across Essex.
