Optical Practice Manager

A fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic individual who wants to progress in their career and develop their optical and business skills, whilst earning a very competitive salary. We also offer a great work-life balance with flexible working, no evenings, bank holidays or Sundays. Part time or full time available. Beautifully fitted practice with a great atmosphere and a friendly supportive team. Here’s what our current team have to say: Kerri – I’d become disillusioned after setting up a hugely successful cold start up for a well know national chain and jumped at the chance to work with Gerard. I’ve now been here 18 years and look forward to spending my whole career at LFO. Tim – I’ve always loved people and science. LFO was the natural choice because patients are always the priority here. Becky – I was offered the change to train as a dispensing optician at LFO and jumped at the chance: that was 15 years ago!
