Fancy a job that feels less like a grind and more like an adventure? 🏔️

OCULA’s Wanaka practice in Otago South Island New Zealand is searching for two new Dispensing Opticians/Optical Assistants, who are not just about the specs but also bring a dash of pzazz to our frame gallery.

Fancy working with your friend? Why not both apply for this role?!

We're not your average optometry business—we're the go-to place. Our mantra? Go bold or go home.

We offer award-winning service, including the 2021 Employer of Choice Award for our great work environment. To our team, we provide excellent benefits, work-life balance, and an awesome vibe.

Expect more than the usual fare here. We’re talking top-of-the-line vision care, the chicest eyewear in the business, and a chance to push the envelope alongside people who quickly turn from colleagues to family.

Your job description:

We need someone who has that sparkle in their eye when they help clients choose glasses that not only help them see better, but also look darn good doing it.

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill job… here, your life will be better than your vacation. We're in the heart of New Zealand’s boutique mountain resort region: Wanaka.

Imagine this… stunning landscapes, unmatched nightlife, and a buzzing outdoor sports scene at your fingertips.

The catch is… you’ve got to be experienced.

We’re looking for a qualified Dispensing Optician, or an Optical Assistant with minimum 1 year experience.

If that’s you, we've got a spot ready for you—full-time and all.

And here's the twist—it doesn't matter if you're the 'rock steady' type or the 'aim for the stars' kind. We celebrate diversity in career aspirations and styles.

Let’s get right to it...

A sign-on bonus to write home about

A salary that excites you (because you're worth it)

Here’s a taste of the benefits…

For you professionally:

Generous budget and paid time off for professional development (go on, learn all the things)

Sub-specialty training and mentoring? Only if you want (no pressure, srsly)

For you personally:

Free private health insurance for you + discounts for the fam

A birthday holiday (because no one should work on their birthday)

Give back to the causes you care about with paid volunteer time

Help moving across NZ & from AU (we've got your back)

Work-ations to our other practice, if you want to (fancy a change of view?)

Super family-friendly & flexible environment (because life happens)
