At Vision Express, we’re passionate about delivering exceptional eye care and customer experiences. As an In-Store Lab Technician, you’ll be at the heart of that mission — responsible for crafting high-quality lenses and ensuring our customers leave with glasses that help them to step out with confidence.
Based in our Flagship Oxford Street store — you’ll work in a fast-paced lab environment where precision, quality, and speed are key. Whether you're an experienced lab technician or just starting out in the optical industry, you'll receive full training and support to thrive in your role. Previous experience in an optical lab is desirable but not essential.
Although the hours of this role are advertised, if this sounds like the role for you, we'd love to hear about your ideal working week. Whether this is hours to fit around the school run or you prefer a compressed week - we are open to discussing flexible options with you further.
