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.
