This is an excellent opportunity for an Dispensing Optician or an Optical Manager seeking a long-term role within a hugely rewarding side of the optical industry. You're not simply helping someone choose a pair of glasses - you're bringing eye care directly to people who may otherwise struggle to access it.

Travelling to different locations and making a real difference to patients' lives, this could be an excellent next step in your career.

• Oversee the day-to-day running of the domiciliary care service.
• Ensure all care visits are covered and manage rota issues.
• Manage staff, sickness, performance and recruitment.
• Support and supervise care coordinators and care workers.
