What are the responsibilities and job description for the Customer Service Optician position at Lake Stevens Vision Clinic?
Customer Service Optician needed
Do you love solving problems to help people live better lives? Got a flair for style and a gift for making people look and feel their best? Then we want to talk to you about our Customer Service Optician position.
Our busy optical practice needs a Customer Service Optician to help our patients leave our office looking snazzy in their perfect new pair of glasses. This is a full-time position offering you work-home balance and benefits.
What you’ll be doing as a Customer Service Optician
As an Optician, you are the “pharmacist” of the eye care profession. You’ll be helping our patients choose the right glasses for them based on their personal style, lifestyle needs, prescription, and more.
Out of everyone that works at our practice, the Optician has the honor of satisfying patients the most! People walk in not being able to see, and you’re the one that sends them out looking great and SEEING great - so you get all the glory!
This is not just any sales job! Your role is to be an educator and a style consultant. If you hate pushy salespeople, you’ll love this job, because we hate pushy salespeople, too.
Some of your duties will include:
- Helping people pick out frames that suit them based on the shape of their face, bridge fit, lifestyle, and prescription.
- Determining the best lens types, materials, coatings, and brands for patients’ lifestyles. For example, a kid who plays basketball will need something different from someone who works on a computer all day.
- Educating first-timers on how to use and take care of their glasses and contacts
- Troubleshooting prescription issues
- Taking accurate measurements for all lens styles and prescriptions
- Checking new glasses for fit and making adjustments
- Miscellaneous repairs
- Billing insurance
- Consistent cross-training for optimal career growth
- Educating patients on what their insurance covers
- Keeping the optical space looking clean, neat and welcoming
- Doing inventory, ordering, sending and receiving shipments
Why this job is more than a job
In eye care, we change people’s lives. We help grandma and grandpa keep their independence by saving their eyesight. We help kids get better grades because they can finally see the board! We prevent devastating traffic accidents, allow parents to take in every detail on their children’s faces, and help people enjoy an improved quality of life – because life is so much better when you can SEE.
If you want a career where you help the people in your community have better lives, this is the job for you.
Experience Needed:
Experience is a plus, but it’s certainly not required as long as your credentials meet state licensing requirements. We offer paid training to the right person with a great attitude, a helpful heart, and a love of learning!
If these sound like you, please apply!
- You’ve got a great sense of style and love to help people look their best.
- You’re a natural problem solver, and hearing things like “these glasses don’t fit” or “I can’t get used to seeing with these confounded things” gets you pumped up to work your magic.
- You’re happy to take as much time as a patient needs to pick the right glasses – after all, they’re going to be part of their everyday lives!
- You’re confident in making recommendations.
- You’re outgoing and friendly - no one has ever described you as a “wilty flower.”
