This is your chance to take the reins of a busy community practice – a role that combines hands-on dispensing with management responsibility. Whether you’re a GOC-registered Dispensing Optician or an experienced dispenser ready to step up, this could be the move you’ve been waiting for.
Why this role stands out:
- Work-life balance – alternate Saturdays only, and the practice closes for Christmas.
- One-hour lunch break – time to reset properly.
- Free on-site parking – save time, save money.
- Pension, professional fees (if applicable), training, and development support.
What you’ll be doing:
- Leading from the front – dispensing daily while managing staff and operations.
- Overseeing rotas, stock control, merchandising, and compliance.
- Driving commercial results in an NHS-focused practice with scope for private upsells.
- Building, mentoring, and motivating a small, supportive team.
What we’re looking for:
- A GOC-registered DO or a strong, experienced dispenser with leadership potential.
- Hands-on, approachable, and commercially aware.
- A confident communicator who can balance patient care with business goals.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a management role that still keeps you close to patients – with the perks, salary, and work-life balance to match.
