Dispensing Optician Manchester City Centre Bespoke Styling Practice Up to 33,000 + Bonus Potential 12,000+

Some practices dispense glasses. This one choreographs an experience - the coffee, the music, the curated tray of frames chosen just for you - and has built one of the most talked-about reputations in the country doing it.

At a Glance

• Dispensing Optician (Styling Consultant) role, Manchester city centre
• Up to 33,000 salary + bonus potential exceeding 12,000
• Full time, 9:00am-5:30pm, one full weekend off per month
• No rushed dispenses - full styling consultations built around the individual

About the Opportunity

Zest Optical are working in partnership with one of the UK's most respected boutique styling practices, based in the heart of Manchester city centre.

This isn't a practice that dispenses off a rack. Every client goes through a full styling consultation - getting to know their lifestyle, their personality, what they actually want to feel like in a frame - before a tray of hand-picked options is curated just for them.

Every touchpoint is considered. The coffee is locally roasted. The music is chosen. The pace is unhurried. It's a service philosophy borrowed from the best names in hospitality as much as from optics, and it shows: a five-star reputation built on hundreds of genuine reviews, a client base that returns for decades, and a calendar that includes trunk shows, collection launches and team socials rather than just another week on the shop floor.

Opticians travel from across the UK and internationally just to see how this practice does what it does - this is very much the flagship for that way of working.

The Role

• Lead full styling consultations - understanding a client's lifestyle, features and personal style before curating their tray of frames
• Guide clients through a genuinely bespoke eyewear journey, not a transactional dispense
• Build long-term relationships with clients who return again and again, often for years
• Get involved in trunk shows, collection launches and events that showcase the practice's range
• Work alongside a small, close-knit team who take real pride in the standard they deliver
• Be part of a practice actively shaping what "best in class" looks like for the wider industry

What We're Looking For

• GOC-registered Dispensing Optician
• Someone who sees eyewear as identity and personal style, not just a prescription solution
• A natural, warm communicator who can build genuine rapport quickly
• Comfortable being coached to a very high service standard - this is closer to luxury retail or hospitality than a typical optical role
• Genuine excitement at the idea of working somewhere this considered, rather than intimidated by it

Salary & Benefits

• Salary up to 33,000
• Bonus potential exceeding 12,000 per year
• 9:00am-5:30pm, Monday to Saturday, with one full weekend off per month
• Access to trunk shows, supplier events and industry-leading training
• The chance to learn from a practice that other opticians travel to study

Interested?

This is a rare one, and it won't suit everyone - but for the right person, it's about as good as boutique optical gets in the UK.

Dispensing Optician Wokingham, Berkshire Boutique Independent Practice Up to 38,000 DOE

There's a difference between fitting glasses and helping someone find the pair that actually makes them feel like themselves. In this practice, that difference is the whole point.

About the Opportunity

Zest Optical are supporting a luxury, boutique independent practice in Wokingham, Berkshire. This is a personalised eyecare and original eyewear practice built around a simple idea: patients deserve better than a rushed dispense off a rack. The collection reflects that - Tom Ford, Cutler and Gross, Garrett Leight, Lindberg, Moscot and rgreen Optics, all sitting within a considered, boutique environment where clinical excellence and genuine style advice go hand in hand. This is a practice that invests in advanced diagnostic technology, takes the time to get eye examinations right, and treats every dispense as a chance to do something a little more special.

The Role

• Dispensing Optician role within a well-established, luxury independent practice in Wokingham
• Deliver a genuinely consultative dispensing experience - helping patients choose frames and lenses that suit their face, lifestyle and personality, not just their prescription
• Work with a premium and designer frame range, including Tom Ford, Prada, Cutler and Gross, Lindberg and Moscot
• Support patients through personal frame consultations, children's dispenses and more complex lens requirements
• Be part of a close-knit team where care, precision and product knowledge are all valued equally

What We're Looking For

• GOC-registered Dispensing Optician
• A genuine interest in style, eyewear trends and premium/designer product
• Strong communication skills and a naturally warm, unhurried approach with patients
• Someone who takes pride in getting the detail right, from frame adjustment to lens choice

What's on Offer

• Salary up to 36,000, depending on experience
• A boutique, design-led working environment rather than a high-volume setup
• The chance to work with genuinely exciting product
• Supportive, close-knit independent practice culture
• Professional fees and ongoing development supported

Interested?

This is one for a Dispensing Optician who wants their day to be about more than volume - where care, craft and product all matter.
