Job Description:

Senior Dispensing Optician - Cayman Islands

Location: Cayman Islands
Salary: £45,000 - £55,000 equivalent, tax-free
Hours: Full Time

Are you ready to take your optical career to the next level in paradise?

Zest Optical is working alongside an exceptional independent optical group to recruit a qualified Dispensing Optician for a unique opportunity in the Cayman Islands.

Having successfully established two high-end optical practices on the island, the business is continuing to grow and is now looking for an experienced Dispensing Optician who can combine exceptional clinical and dispensing standards with a broader role supporting the day-to-day running of both practices.

This could be an incredible move for a senior Dispensing Optician who is ready for more responsibility and would love the opportunity to develop their career while enjoying a completely different way of life.

The Opportunity

Working closely with the Director, you'll play an important role across two successful practices, combining hands-on dispensing with leadership and operational responsibilities.

The role will include:

• Delivering a premium dispensing and eyewear experience
• Working with high-quality lenses and an exciting collection of independent and luxury eyewear
• Supporting the day-to-day running and performance of both practices
• Helping to maintain consistently high standards of customer care and service
• Supporting, developing and motivating the wider team
• Building long-term relationships within a close-knit, community-driven environment
• Working closely with the Director on the continued development of the business

About You

We're looking for a qualified Dispensing Optician who has strong dispensing experience and is ready to take the next step in their career.

You'll ideally:

• Be a qualified Dispensing Optician
• Have strong technical dispensing and eyewear knowledge
• Be confident working within a premium, customer-focused environment
• Have experience supporting or leading a team, or the ambition to move into a more senior role
• Be commercially aware and comfortable taking responsibility
• Have the personality and communication skills to build strong relationships with customers and colleagues
• Be genuinely excited by the prospect of relocating and building a life in the Cayman Islands

What's On Offer

• Salary equivalent to circa £45,000 - £55,000
• Tax-free earnings
• A senior position within an established and growing optical group
• Genuine involvement in the running and development of two successful practices
• Opportunity to progress beyond a traditional Dispensing Optician position
• Full support with relocation and adjusting to life on the island
• The opportunity to combine career progression with an exceptional lifestyle

The Director originally relocated from the UK himself, so understands first-hand the practicalities and challenges involved in making an international move and can offer genuine support throughout the process.

Life in the Cayman Islands

Living and working in the Cayman Islands offers a lifestyle that's difficult to replicate in the UK.

You'll have world-famous beaches such as Seven Mile Beach on your doorstep, year-round warm weather and access to some of the best diving and water sports in the world.

There's a large international community, including expats from the UK, Ireland, South Africa, the US and beyond, alongside a close-knit local community where building genuine relationships is a big part of everyday life.

Outside work, you can make the most of an outdoor lifestyle encompassing everything from paddleboarding and diving to cycling, boating and simply enjoying the Caribbean climate.

With relatively short flights to destinations including Miami, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, it's also an incredible base from which to explore the wider Caribbean and Americas.

For an experienced Dispensing Optician looking for greater responsibility, career progression and the opportunity to make a genuine lifestyle change, this is a very special opportunity.
