As highlighted earlier, your close collaboration will primarily be with our optometrists. Your responsibilities include overseeing pre-screening assessments and conducting retinal imaging exams, crucial components of The Ultimate Eye Examination that ensures optimal patient outcomes. Additionally, as the first point of contact for our customers entering the store, you play a pivotal role in setting the tone for their visit. Engaging directly with clients, you offer personalised advice on a diverse selection of frames and accessories from leading brands.

At Leightons, we recognise that our Optical and Hearing Assistants are integral to our success, and we are committed to fostering their career growth.

We offer clear advancement pathways and provide all the tools you need to support your professional development. Your journey with us includes the chance to explore leadership roles.
