Job Description

Job Description

Compensation: $27.00 – $38.00/hr (Depending on licensing status and benchwork experience) + Benefits & Perks

Job Title: Experienced Optical Dispenser or Licensed Optician – Clinical Optometry Practice (Leslieville)

The Role

Are you an experienced Optical Dispenser or Licensed Optician who loves the craft of patient-first dispensing, but wants to leave behind the stress of store management, inventory quotas, and staffing headaches?

In this role, you will work closely alongside our Optometrists to provide warm, seamless transitions from the exam lane to the dispensary. Your entire focus will be on patient education, precision fitting, and clinical collaboration.

What You’ll Do

• Provide high-touch, consultative styling and technical lens recommendations tailored to each patient’s lifestyle and visual demands.
• Execute meticulous custom fittings, anatomical adjustments, and hands-on benchwork (including rimless/drill-mount assembly, edging/finishing, and delicate repairs).
• Collaborate directly with our Optometrists on specialty prescriptions, progressive lens troubleshooting, and complex refractive needs.
• Foster a warm, welcoming, and relaxed clinic atmosphere where patients feel thoroughly cared for.
• What you WON’T have to do: No staff scheduling, and no aggressive retail sales targets.

What We’re Looking For

• Background: Open to either a Licensed Optician (COO registered) OR an Experienced Optical Dispenser with a proven track record in high-touch, independent, or boutique settings.
• Benchwork Mastery: Comfortable with custom alignments, repairs, and rimless drilling/mounting.
• Product Knowledge: Deep familiarity with modern premium lens designs (free-form progressives, anti-fatigue, blue-light, and task-specific lenses).
• Patient-First Philosophy: Warm, patient, and articulate, with a strong appreciation for the clinical side of eye care.
• Community Fit: Enthusiastic about being part of the creative, friendly Leslieville community.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation ($27 – $38/hr, scaled to your licensing and experience level).
• Balanced clinic hours (no late corporate mall nights or Sunday shifts).
• Licensing fee reimbursement / continuing education allowance (for licensed candidates).
• Comprehensive health and vision care benefits + generous eyewear perks.
• A supportive, respectful environment where your dispensing expertise and craft are truly valued by the doctors and team.
