Optical Assistant – No Experience Needed | Somer Toprak Optometrists

Ready to swap cookie-cutter retail for a career with purpose?

At Somer Toprak Optometrists, we don't believe in one size fits all – not in eyewear, and definitely not in how we care for our team or patients.

With two talented graduate optometrists recently joining us, we're expanding our support team. We're looking for an Optical Assistant who's ready to take their next step into a career within independent optometry – where your ideas matter, and your growth is

supported.

Why join us?

Real learning. You'll receive on-the-job training in optical dispensing, styling, and clinical support – no prior optical experience needed.

Fashion meets eye health. We stock unique, on-trend frames that keep things interesting – no bland walls of black frames here.

Patient care, not sales targets. Longer consult times mean our focus is genuine care, not how many patients we can see in a day.

Supportive culture. Work alongside optometrists who are passionate about mentoring and sharing their knowledge.

What you'll bring

A patient-first mindset – you care about helping people see and feel their best

Retail or customer service experience (essential)

A natural problem-solving ability – you like finding tailored solutions

An eye for style and the confidence to match patients with their perfect frames

Willingness to learn – from frame repairs to pre-testing to lens ordering, we'll teach you

The role

Tuesday to Friday: 8:30am–6:30pm

Every 3rd Saturday

Our values

  • Fun but serious when it matters
  • Empathy in everything we do
  • No cookie-cutter approaches – our patients are individuals, and so are you

Where could this lead?

This role is the first step into a career within independent optometry. Past Optical Assistants have progressed into optical dispensing, frame buying, and practice management. If you're looking for a job that could grow into a career, you'll find it here.

Ready to build a career where no day is the same and your ideas are valued?

Apply now – we'd love to meet you.
