To be employed in this role you must be over the age of 18 and pass an enhanced safeguarding check.
Are you looking for a flexible role in a fast-paced environment? Do you love working as part of a team to deliver outstanding service to customers?
What's in it for you?
Alongside a competitive salary, we offer a great range of other benefits too. You'll receive a discount card for yourself and a second card for your nominated user, giving you 10% off your shopping and you'll also receive a company pension. On the ‘Our Asda' benefits site, you will have access to a wide range of discounts across various activities and services, anything from airport parking to theme parks and pet insurance to car tyres – whatever you're into there's something to suit everyone!
About the Role
Our stores operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, with that brings a wide variety of shift patterns – if you're looking for flexible working to fit around your lifestyle, then look no further! We'll work with you on your shifts, but weekend working is a requirement of the role and we may need to be flexible with your work pattern.
Our in-store Opticians are hugely popular with our customers and they'll expect the same warmth and friendliness they get everywhere else in the store – as well as being confident and relaxed about discussing personal ocular health issues, quickly resolving customer problems and taking customers to the right products.
Wherever you are, we put our customers first with excellent service, welcoming stores and ‘extra special' products – we work as a team to maximise sales and deliver a great shopping trip.
You'll be responsible for:
- Preparing patients for their eye examination and explaining what each stage of the eye test involves
- Completing pre-screening examinations
- Booking appointments for customers
- Dispensing spectacles and contact lenses as well as dealing with repairs and adjustments
- Ensuring stock has been received by the supplier
We'll help you to become a star colleague from learning how to dispense glasses and contact lenses, looking after repairs, adjustments and glasses verification to teaching contact lens insertion and removals – with our great training and support, we'll help you keep getting better and better.
About You
You'll be naturally friendly, highly organised and want to get stuck in, working with your team to deliver great results. You have good computer skills, attention to detail and you communicate well with customers. You also love problem solving and are confident working with numbers. You're passionate about helping people and care about giving customers a great healthcare experience, helping them find what they need and having a chat along the way.
