Optical Assistant / Optical Dispenser
RJK Optometry | Coffs Harbour, NSW
Full or part-time
You don’t need optical experience to understand what excellent service looks like.
RJK Optometry is looking for someone who communicates confidently, notices the details, and enjoys helping people make informed decisions. You may already be an experienced Optical Dispenser, or you may be bringing strong customer service skills from another industry and be ready to build a career in optics.
The Role
You’ll support patients throughout their experience with the practice, from their first interaction through to selecting, fitting, and collecting their eyewear.
Your day may include:
-
Welcoming patients and coordinating appointments
-
Helping patients select frames suited to their needs, style and lifestyle
-
Explaining lens options and recommendations clearly
-
Supporting optical dispensing, adjustments and repairs
-
Processing orders and completing practice administration
-
Working alongside Optometrists and qualified Optical Dispensers
The responsibilities can be shaped around your experience. An experienced dispenser will be able to use their technical knowledge from the outset, while someone new to optics will receive practical training and may be supported toward a Certificate IV in Optical Dispensing.
About You
We’re looking for someone whose approach aligns with how RJK cares for its patients: thorough, honest, professional, and attentive.
You’ll bring:
-
Confidence working with people and providing thoughtful service
-
An organised approach and strong attention to detail
-
The ability to learn products, systems and technical information
-
Reliability, initiative and pride in the standard of your work
-
A willingness to contribute to the team and take responsibility for your role
