About Chapel Hills Vision Clinic:

Chapel Hills Vision Clinic is committed to delivering exceptional patient care through advanced optometry technology and a supportive, team-oriented culture.

Our doctors foster an environment where employees feel valued and patients enjoy their experience. Team-building events have included escape rooms, spa days at Flying Horse, and themed holiday gatherings.

We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys helping people, has a strong sense of style, and loves creating a personalized customer experience.

About the Role:

This is a great opportunity for someone coming from:

• Sunglasses sales
• Jewelry sales
• Cosmetics or makeup counters
• Fashion retail
• Luxury retail
• Personal styling
• Customer-focused sales environments

If you enjoy one-on-one customer interaction and helping people choose products that fit their personality and lifestyle, this role could be an excellent fit.

Optical experience is preferred, but we are willing to train someone with strong retail sales and customer service experience who has the right attitude and personality.

What You’ll Do:

• Help patients select stylish, comfortable eyewear and sunglasses
• Educate patients on lens and frame options based on lifestyle and vision needs
• Deliver a highly personalized customer experience with tailored recommendations
• Adjust and repair eyewear for proper fit and comfort
• Assist with lens edging and optical lab work
• Collaborate closely with doctors and team members to provide excellent patient care
• Maintain a welcoming and polished optical environment

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong customer service and relationship-building skills
• A passion for fashion, styling, accessories, or beauty-related retail
• Comfortable working one-on-one with customers
• Positive, professional, and team-oriented attitude
• Reliable work ethic and willingness to learn
• 1–2 years of retail, optical, beauty, jewelry, sunglasses, or customer-facing sales experience preferred
• High school diploma or equivalent required

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Personalized patient interaction
• Stable full-time schedule
• Opportunity to learn the optical field and develop long-term career skills
• Fashion-forward retail environment combined with healthcare
• Supportive and upbeat team culture
