ABDO is seeking to recruit an ambitious and enthusiastic, qualified dispensing optician to this post.

The ideal candidate will be someone who “wants to make a difference “by helping to support and develop the Association as we move forward.

Possessing good communication and IT skills the successful candidate will have a passion for the profession and a desire to work alongside an equally dedicated team within ABDO.

In addition to supporting the Head of Membership Services in their executive role, the person appointed will be expected to representing the department and at times the Association at both internal and external meetings. They will also have the willingness and flexibility to help or assist other departments within ABDO.
