About the role

SVS Vision Receptionists will be responsible for creating a positive first impression that the patient receives when they walk into our stores.

The receptionists’ main priorities are to assist clients either over the phone or in person, while getting the opportunity to build relationships with patients. They are also responsible for ensuring a positive patient experience from start to finish. Receptionists need to have a basic understanding of the different types of optical aids available.
