Optical Assistant Sindy Lowinger Optometrist – St Ives, NSW Not every optical role is built around rigid routines.

This one is different.

Sindy Lowinger

Optometrist is a community-focused practice with a strong interest in children’s vision and personalised care. We’re looking for someone warm, proactive, and confident working with children to join the practice one day per week, with opportunities to grow additional hours over time. This role could suit someone currently studying Optometry, Optical Dispensing, health sciences, psychology, education, or another related field who is looking to gain hands‑on experience in a practice environment.

The Role - Wednesdays required
Flexible schedule each week, with after-school availability essential
Opportunity for additional days during school holidays and on Fridays
Located in St Ives with public transport nearby What You’ll Be Doing This is a varied role where no two days look the same. You’ll be involved in:
Supporting children and families throughout appointments
Assisting with recalls and appointment coordination
Helping grow awareness of the practice through Instagram and Facebook
General reception and administrative support
Contributing ideas and using initiative to support practice growth This is not a heavily sales-focused dispensing role,



and previous dispensing experience is not essential.

About You You might already have experience in:
Customer service
Reception or administration
Healthcare or allied health environments
Working with children
Social media content or engagement We’d love to hear from someone who:
Communicates confidently and warmly with children and parents
Is organised and adaptable
Enjoys taking initiative rather than waiting to be asked
Is comfortable with changing schedules and a flexible work environment
Has a genuine interest in eye care, children’s development, or healthcare Experience using Sunix is a bonus, though not essential. A Working With Children Check is required for this role. If you don’t currently hold one, the practice can support you with the application process.

Why This Role Stands

Out - Genuine flexibility around study and life commitments
Chance to build experience in a niche area of optometry
Supportive small-practice workplace
Potential to grow your hours over time
A role where initiative and personality matter just as much as experience Some roles teach you how a practice runs.

Others show you how patient relationships are built.

This one does both.
