Dispensing Optician - Kent - Office Based / Dispensing

About the Opportunity

This is a genuinely different kind of Dispensing Optician role.
You’ll be joining a family-run, domiciliary optician that delivers high-quality eye care directly to patients in a care home setting. The focus here is on time, relationships and meaningful care – not targets or conveyor-belt dispensing.

If you enjoy variety, autonomy and meeting people from all walks of life, this role offers a refreshing alternative to traditional practice-based work.

The Role

Your week will be deliberately split to give you balance and variety:

Out in the field:
Accompanying the Optometrist on care-home visits, supporting patients with frame selection, dispensing advice and personalised recommendations. Office-based days:
Coordinating lens and frame orders, liaising with suppliers, updating families on progress and ensuring every dispense is delivered accurately, smoothly and on time.

You’ll play a key role in ensuring continuity of care from consultation through to delivery and aftercare.
