The Opportunity
We're working with a busy, boutique independent practice near Harrow looking for an experienced Dispensing Optician or Optical Assistant to join their small, close-knit team on a long-term basis.

- The Team
You’ll be joining a small, friendly team where everyone works closely together and there is plenty of opportunity to get involved.
