Optical Dispenser

About Us

Are you a stylish, people-person with a passion for fashion, healthcare, and helping others look and feel their best?

At Waterloo Vision Care Clinic, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional patient care within a warm, vibrant, and collaborative environment. We are looking for a friendly, detail-oriented Optometric Assistant with a focus on optical sales and frame styling to join our growing team!

What You’ll Do

You will be the heartbeat of our optical boutique, helping patients select the perfect frames and lenses while ensuring a seamless clinic experience. Your core responsibilities will include:

• Optical Sales & Styling: Guide patients through frame and lens selection, offering expert fashion advice, matching styles to face shapes, and explaining lens options/coatings.
• Dispensing & Adjustments: Professionally fit, measure, adjust, and repair eyewear to ensure optimal comfort and visual clarity for every patient.
• Patient Experience & Admin: Greet patients warmly, manage incoming calls, handle appointment scheduling, and process billing and insurance claims.

What We’re Looking For

We value a great eye for style, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn! While previous optical sales, dispensing, or healthcare experience is a strong asset, it is not strictly required—we provide comprehensive, hands-on training for the right candidate.

• Style & Service Savvy: A passion for fashion eyewear and an innate ability to provide exceptional, personalized customer service.
• Strong Communicator: Excellent interpersonal skills to educate patients on eyewear products and options clearly and confidently.
• Adaptable Multi-Tasker: A quick learner who thrives and stays organized in a busy retail and clinical environment.
• Collaborative Team Player: Someone who works cooperatively to achieve shared clinic goals.
• Detail-Oriented: A meticulous approach to taking optical measurements, handling orders, and maintaining accurate records.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Supportive Culture: Join an encouraging, close-knit team that genuinely cares about its team and community.
• Growth Opportunities: We invest in your professional development, offering pathways to master optical styling and advance your career.
• Competitive Compensation & Benefits: Enjoy comprehensive perks, including competitive pay, employee vision care benefits, and paid time off.
• Meaningful Impact: Play a direct role in helping people see clearly and look amazing while doing it!
