Optometry staffing
Staffing support for optical and optometry businesses, across the whole team.
Not every optical role registers the same way
Where a role requires GOC registration it forms part of our checks — and FBDO membership where relevant to dispensing opticians. Not every optical role carries the same requirement, and we treat each accordingly.
From testing room to dispensing desk, the right person depends on the role. Tell us what your practice needs — a day, a week or a recurring gap — and we'll look for the professional who fits it.
Roles we cover
- Optical assistants
- Dispensing opticians
- Contact lens opticians
- Optometrists
Tell us who you need
Tell us the role, the location and the dates, and we'll review the requirement and come back to you about an appropriate professional.
