Flame Health Optometry have been instructed to recruit two experienced Optical Assistants for a new showroom in the Colchester area, Essex.
This is a full-time opportunity, offering £15.27 per hour and the chance to help establish a new location.

Job Overview
Our client is seeking two experienced Optical Assistants to work full‑time in the Colchester area, Essex, earning £15.27 per hour. The opportunity will appeal to confident dispensers who value taking time with customers and would like to help establish a new showroom.
About the Job
You will provide a personalised dispensing service, helping customers find eyewear suited to their needs. Appointments are scheduled for one hour, giving you time to focus on each customer, and you will manage your own appointment diary.
Alongside dispensing, you will support the day‑to‑day operation of the showroom and play an active part in getting the new location established. The role is full‑time, includes alternate Saturdays and has no late nights. Optional overtime is available.
About the Employer
Customers receive tailored advice on premium frames and lenses using a copy of their prescription. The appointment‑based service allows time to discuss individual eyewear needs.
The role offers the opportunity to contribute to the opening of a new showroom, with quarterly team activities or meals among the arrangements described for staff.
What We Are Looking For
You will have previous experience in optics, including dispensing, and be confident managing your own appointments.
The role also calls for someone able to support the practical day‑to‑day running of a showroom.
Experience gained in either an independent practice or a multiple optical retailer is welcome.
You should be comfortable providing attentive, individual service and taking responsibility for your appointments. No specific registration, licence or additional qualification is stated as a requirement.
Who This Role Suits
This role is well suited to an experienced Optical Assistant ready to take ownership of customer appointments and contribute beyond dispensing.
It may particularly appeal to someone who wants to help establish a new showroom while working full‑time without late nights.
Job Location
The role is based in the Colchester area, Essex. Parking is available.
