Now Hiring: Front Desk & Optical Assistant

Part-time, year-round position with paid training in front desk support, patient care, and eyewear assistance.

Vision Source, P.C. is a family-owned private optometry practice in Orland Park. We are looking for a friendly, reliable, detail-oriented team member to help strengthen our front desk coverage and gradually train into optical support.

This is a year-round position, not a summer-only role.

About the Role

This role starts with front desk patient support and grows step-by-step into optical and eyewear support. Prior optical experience is helpful, but not required. We will train the right person.

Starts With Front Desk Support

  • Greeting patients professionally
  • Answering phones and taking accurate messages
  • Helping with scheduling and patient flow
  • Confirming patient information
  • Using our patient communication system

Gradually Grows Into Optical Support

  • Helping patients select eyewear
  • Supporting Joe on the optical floor
  • Cleaning and organizing frames
  • Learning basic frame fit and styling
  • Assisting with frame inventory and order preparation

Who We Are Looking For

  • Warm, professional, and comfortable speaking with patients
  • Reliable, punctual, and looking for stable year-round part-time work
  • Comfortable answering phones and learning computer systems
  • Careful with details and able to follow office procedures
  • Interested in eyewear, style, and helping patients feel confident in their frame selection

Schedule & Pay

The regular schedule for this position is expected to be:

Monday 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Wednesday 1:00 PM – 7:30 PM
Thursday 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Saturday 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Pay: $18–$22 per hour, based on experience and fit. Paid training provided.

  • No Sundays or major holidays, with frequent long holiday weekends.
  • Office closed Fridays
  • Saturday hours end in the early afternoon

The schedule above is for this specific part-time position and may differ from the full office hours listed elsewhere on our website.

Paid Training

You will not be expected to learn everything at once. Training starts with front desk basics and gradually adds optical support.

For the right candidate, we may offer additional paid training hours during the first two weeks before settling into the regular part-time schedule.

  • Phone and patient communication
  • Scheduling and patient message support
  • Eyewear styling basics
  • Frame organization and optical floor support
  • Eventually, frame inventory support and optical order preparation
