Love people, precision, and great design?
Join Murphys the Opticians — an independent boutique where craftsmanship, calm, and creativity meet. We're looking for a reliable, positive Junior Optical Assistant who's eager to learn and take pride in doing things properly.
About Us
Murphys the Opticians is a boutique, independent practice known for our curated eyewear collections and focus on exceptional, personal eye care.
We take pride in offering a calm, welcoming space where clients are given time, attention, and genuine care.
We're now looking for a Junior Optical Assistant to join our small, friendly team.
If you're reliable, upbeat, and love learning hands-on skills, this is a great opportunity to be part of a high-end practice that values both precision and personality.
About the Role
You'll be involved in both the styling and technical sides of optics — from welcoming clients and helping them choose frames, to getting hands-on with repairs, adjustments, stock checks, and preparing eyewear for collection.
It's a role for someone who enjoys taking responsibility, has strong attention to detail, and brings positive energy to their work.
Full training will be provided — no previous optical experience is needed.
What We're Looking For
* Reliable, punctual, and takes pride in doing things well
* Brings a positive, can-do attitude and enjoys learning new skills
* Friendly, confident, and enjoys talking to people
* Has good hand–eye coordination and likes practical, detailed work
* Appreciates a calm, well-organised environment
* Enjoys being part of a small, close-knit team where everyone plays an important role
What We Offer
* Full hands-on training in all aspects of optical practice — from styling to repairs and lens preparation
* Experience working with independent eyewear brands you won't find anywhere else
* A calm, supportive workplace that focuses on quality over quantity
* A rota where days may vary — some flexibility is required
If you're curious, motivated, and love the idea of working in a stylish, people-focused environment — we'd love to hear from you.
