We are always looking for Optical Assistants,
either experienced or not, who want to provide the best service
to the patient and who want to be part of a team doing so. The majority of our optical assistants go on to do further in house training in one or more of our in house training modules. We have 7 In-house training modules in the fields of Clinical Assistant, Dispensing Assistant and Technical Assistant. This training is in a one-to-one basis, and when an adequate level of competence has been reached, an assessment exam is taken. If successful, the assistant is awarded a certificate and an incremental pay increase to reflect their advancing competence levels. Full and adequate training in all aspects is given.
Clinical testing can include such things as Humphrey Visual Field testing, various forms of Non-Contact Tonometry, Contrast Sensitivity testing, blood pressure measurement etc. Although we employ several dispensing opticians, some less complicated dispensing tasks can be safely carried out by suitably trained optical assistant staff. This improves rather than detracts from the service given to the patient, as it means that we have more staff members who can assist them. It means that our staff are more informed and able to help our patients more of the time which minimises delays to the patient. All staff practice at the level of their own competence, always handing onto a more qualified member of staff if needed. All our practices has advanced computer controlled spectacle manufacturing laboratories. Because of the advanced equipement we use it is relatively straight-forward to be taught how to grind optical lenses to fit accurately into spectacle frames. All optical assistants are expected to gain more than a passing knowledge of contact lenses and their care products. Those taking our Contact Lens Assistant module will be trained to a higher level and be expected to assist with contact lens teaching etc This career plan allows you to develop at your pace.
