Optical Receptionist/administrator

Stewart Caithness Gray Optometrists are looking for a full time receptionist and administrator. We are a busy independent practice looking for an enthusiastic and motivated person to join our small team.

Previous experience as either a receptionist within an allied medical setting or in a customer service role within the hospitality industry is preferred but not essential.

Skills and experience required include

• You must have a strong customer service work ethic
• High degree of attention to detail
• Strong computer skill with accurate data entry and a concise phone manner
• Eager to learn new skills within a specialised industry
• Happy to work both as an integral part of a small team as well as independently
• Work well under pressure

Responsibilities include

• Standard reception desk tasks, receiving phone calls, greeting clients
• Processing sales and balancing daily cash book
• Invoicing
• Assisting clients with spectacle frame selection
• Processing and ordering contact lenses and solution sales

The position we have available is certainly different from your standard receptionist job. You will learn new skills and gain a great understanding of our highly technical and specialised profession.
