Job Description

Not Another Eye Store is growing!

We’re expanding our hours and launching comprehensive eye examinations this summer. We’re looking for a customer-focused Optometric Assistant who loves fashion, enjoys connecting with people, and takes pride in creating memorable in-store experiences.

This role is ideal for someone seeking stability and long-term growth within a locally owned business—not just a short-term position. A place where you’re not just an employee, but part of a small, supportive community that genuinely enjoys coming to work.

Why Join Not Another Eye Store?
- Locally owned, independent boutique with a personal touch
- Leadership that is present, approachable, and hands-on
- Supportive, close-knit team where your contributions are noticed and valued—you’re not a number you're family
- A zero-judgement environment committed to helping patients find solutions that work for them, not just selling products
- Ongoing learning opportunities in optical styling, lens technology, and patient care
- Opportunity to grow with us as we expand our services and hours

Responsibilities
- Greet patients and customers warmly and ensure a positive experience
- Assist customers in selecting frames suited to their lifestyle and prescription
- Explain frame materials, lens options, coatings, and warranties clearly
- Perform reception duties including answering phones, scheduling appointments, and managing patient flow
- Check patients in and out and process payments, including insurance claims
- Assist with pre-testing procedures prior to eye exams (training provided)
- Support daily operations by organizing inventory, maintaining frame displays, tidying the store, etc.

Skills and Qualities We Value
- Friendly, customer first mindset
- Strong communication skills (bilingual or multilingual is a plus)
- Optical experience is preferred (but will train the right candidate)
- Eagerness to learn optical products, lens technologies and dry eye services
- Strong multitasking and organizational skills
- Takes initiative and stays engaged without needing direction

Wage commensurate with experience
