Working here
Forty-one people, and room for four more
Across nine shops and one workshop. We hire slowly, we train properly, and we publish the pay bands internally so nobody has to guess.
Open now
Four roles, and no closing dates
We hire when we find the right person rather than when a quarter starts. Write a letter, not a form, and tell us what you have actually made.
Optometrist
Kumasi, Adum
Testing, dispensing and the occasional argument with us about lens design. Ghana Optometric Association registration required.
Full time · Mon to Sat, one Saturday off in three
Shop lead
Airport Residential, Accra
Running the floor, the stock and three advisors. Dispensing experience helps, but we would rather teach that than teach somebody to be good with people.
Full time · Mon to Sat, 9:00 to 19:00
Bench technician
Spintex workshop
Edging, glazing, riveting and finishing. If you have done watch or jewellery work and never touched a lens, we will still read your letter.
Full time · Mon to Fri, 8:00 to 17:00
Weekend advisor
Osu, Oxford Street
Our busiest floor and the best place to learn the range. Suits somebody studying, and about a third of our full-time staff started here.
Part time · Fri to Sun, sixteen hours
What we offer
Four things, including one nobody advertises
Pay bands, published internally
Everyone can see the band for every role in the company, including this one. It makes the awkward conversations shorter.
Two frames a year, glazed
Yours to keep, any shape, any lens. Most people wear the shop, which is the cheapest and most honest advertising we have.
Dispensing training, paid for
If you join the floor without it, we will put you through it and cover the fee. Two of our shop leads came in as weekend advisors.
One Saturday off in three
It is a shop, so the honest answer is that most Saturdays are working ones. The rota is set a quarter ahead and we do not move it.
How a frame is made
Four weeks, and about eleven pairs of hands
The sheet arrives
Bio-acetate, milled in Italy from cotton rather than crude, in sheets about six millimetres thick. We buy the colour a year ahead because that is how long it takes to make.
The front is cut
A five-axis mill takes the front out of the sheet in one pass. Everything after that is done by hand, which is the part that costs money and the part you can feel.
Ten days in the drum
The fronts go into a tumbler with beech chips and pumice for a week and a half. It is the only way to get an edge that is polished rather than merely smooth.
Then your prescription
Lenses are cut and edged at Spintex, checked against the script twice, and fitted by the person who is going to hand them to you.
Nothing here fits?
Write anyway. About a quarter of the people here arrived without a role being open, and we keep every letter for a year.
