Job Description

Your Licensed Optician opportunity at Grant Park Shopping Centre

You chose a career in dispensing for a reason - to make a difference by ensuring that every customer leaves your store with an eyecare regime that really meets their needs.

We're with you. We wouldn't be where we are without our dedicated dispensing teams to interpret prescriptions, advise customers on the most suitable options, and fit their new glasses beautifully. We're here to elevate your role as an optician by providing you with the tools and support you need so you can do what you love most - providing quality eyecare and eye wear to customers.

Clinical Excellence:

We rely on your clinical expertise to ensure we deliver clinical excellence - that's why we're putting contact lens practitioners at the heart of contact lens dispensing. You'll also have access to leading equipment, such as OCT for all patients, to ensure that all patients get the best accessible, quality eyecare.
