Why this works in Mandeville

Demand in Mandeville is strong, and the work is a fair share of repeat work. Setting up is a bit of work, and you could be paid for your first job within a few weeks.

Where the first customers come from

  1. Optical practice partnerships
  2. Care home contacts
  3. Clinic noticeboards
  4. WhatsApp Business
  5. Local Facebook groups

Before you take on work

  • Public liability insurance
  • Enhanced DBS check
  • Adjustment, repair and collection support is not a sight test; testing and dispensing require GOC registration
  • Refer any sudden vision change to a clinician

Rules vary by council and by country. Check what applies where you are.
