Our modern progressive independent practice requires a
dispensing optician to join our experienced dispensing team. A

auxiliary testing as the practice has a strong clinical focus. Our
large onsite Laboratory allows for fast and efficient glazing and
adjustment services. Pukekohe is a fast growing area, 30 minutes
south of Auckland central (travelling against the traffic).
John Kelsey and his team are proud of the high standard of our
services and would like to welcome an enthusiastic and motivated
new staff member to join our well established team.
This position is full time with some Saturday morning work. In
the first instance please contact Laurraine at admin@optik.co.nz
