Optical Assistant
40 million people wear spectacles in the UK alone, but the optical industry hasn’t changed enough in three centuries. Products are tired, standards are mediocre, and the experience is dull. We’re going to change that, and build the world’s most innovative and customer-centric spectacles company. Equally important is building an equitable and diverse workforce with the goal of building an inclusive culture with opportunities for all.
To help us deliver on that ambition, we’re looking for an enthusiastic, customer-focused Optical Associate. You’ll be at the heart of the customer experience - welcoming people into the store, guiding them through frame and lens choices, and bringing our brand, craft, and values to life. With a blend of technical expertise and warmth, you’ll help create memorable experiences for every customer while supporting the smooth, collaborative running of the store.
Your key responsibilities:
- Deliver exceptional service at every stage of the customer journey that is underpinned by our customer experience non-negotiables.
- Communicate the Cubitts brand story, mission and values to enrich the customer experience.
- Assist with frame and lens selection, offering expert product advice tailored to individual needs.
- Accurately dispense prescription and non-prescription lenses.
- Perform frame adjustments and basic repairs to ensure the perfect fit.
- Introduce our Made to Measure service to every customer, bringing its craft and purpose to life.
- Maintain a clean, organised store environment, ensuring displays and stock are well-presented.
- Follow GDPR and patient confidentiality guidelines at all times, maintaining trust and professionalism.
- Collaborate closely with your team and other departments, fostering a supportive and team-oriented environment.
