Are you the person that loves frames and fashion? Is this the job for you?
Our Optical Stylists have joined us from a variety of backgrounds. We recruit for attitude over experience and this shows with the joy our team express at work. Currently we’re looking for a person with experience in optical retailing to join our stylish team.

Kate - I was desperately unhappy in my previous job. No prospects of a career, you weren’t looked after or cared for and the hours were horrendous. I was looking for something completely different and somewhere that I could stay long term. That was 9 years ago!
I started with no experience in an Opticians. Lynne and Gerard value hard work and persistence though, and since then, I have progressed learning how to dispense, to pre-screen to being an Optical Advisor, to Team Leader, and now for past 3 years as Wells Road practice manager.
Stacey – As a glasses and contact lens wearer, I’ve always had an interest in optics and how everything works. I found Lynne Fernandes Optometrists online and was excited about the expert level of care they offer.
I’ve now worked my way up to a Level 3 Optical Advisor after 15 months and have an aspiration to get to Level 5. Getting experience and training has helped me massively, the more I learn the better I become at doing things I love.
Lynne, Gerard and Kerri always come with advice and feedback, they want us to grow and develop.

Tania - I had just graduated with my masters when I saw the opening at Lynne Fernandes Optometrists. Beth, my manager saw something in me and took a chance, despite me having no experience.
Almost 5 years down the line so much has changed, it’s so good. If you want to work at LFO, just embrace everything. The staff are like a family and that makes it a great place to work. They just care and that is the most important thing.
Liam – I was an experienced Optical Advisor working for a large national chain. However, I knew there would be more opportunities at LFO to train and qualify as a Dispensing Optician.
They took a chance on me and have sponsored me through the DO training course. I qualified fully and aim to develop a management role.
