We’re Hiring – Full-Time Receptionist / Optical Assistant
Based primarily in Knutsford with occasional cover at Wilmslow

Clare & Illingworth is seeking a warm, proactive and highly organised individual to join our front-of-house team.

This is more than just a reception role, it’s about creating exceptional first impressions, supporting the patient journey, and being a vital part of our well-respected independent practice.

Whether welcoming clients, managing bookings, or supporting our clinical and dispensing teams, you’ll represent the calm, professional and friendly ethos we’re known for.

What we’re looking for:
• A confident, people-focused individual who thrives in a busy, varied environment
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise and switch between tasks with ease
• A proactive mindset and willingness to take ownership of your role
• A team player who embodies the Clare & Illingworth brand: polished, calm, and attentive
• Previous optical experience is ideal, but not essential as full training will be provided

This is a full-time role working every Saturday, with a weekday day off.

The position is based primarily at our Knutsford practice, with flexibility to cover Wilmslow when needed.

If you’re someone who takes pride in delivering excellent service, keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes, and enjoys being part of a supportive team, we’d love to hear from you.

Most people see a designer logo.
We see the work behind it.

Yesterday, we spent time with Dior’s eyewear collection, crafted by Thélios, and were reminded just how much goes into a single frame.

It’s not just about style.
It’s about precision cutting.
Careful shaping.
Hand-assembled hinges.
Hours of craftsmanship that you’d never know from a quick glance.

But that’s the beauty of it.
True luxury lies in the details most people never see.

Looking forward to sharing a few updates to this collection in store soon. It’s stunning.
