Our Dispensing Opticians are the face of our clinic on the shop floor and usually an integral part of our store management team. With ILM courses, pre‑reg supervision and Specsavers Partnership Pathway available, we can guide you on your way to becoming a great leader. This – along with your clinical expertise – will stand you in good stead if you choose to become a store director one day.

• Professional fees paid.

• Support with CPD points.
• Specsavers Enhanced Perks – discounted benefits scheme.
• Subscription to the “Headspace” App.
• WeCare – UK confidential employee helpline.

• Ensure that you always provide good levels of customer service to customers.
• Liaise with Optometrists to ensure that each customer you dispense receives a consistent quality handover.
• Manage aftersales service (including complaints and problem solving) in a customer service focused ‘can do’ manner.
• Contribute to achievement of individual and team sales targets by demonstrating effective professional sales techniques.

Alongside being a qualified and GOC registered Dispensing Optician, we are searching for someone who shares our store’s ethos. Someone who wants to grow, develop, and offer exceptional customer care along the way. We want a practitioner who prides themselves on their clinical judgment, that isn’t afraid of a hands‑on approach and who is keen to get involved and build rapport with the rest of the team.

In summary, we’re looking for a skilled Dispensing Optician to join us, be part of the team and assist in driving our practice forward.

Specsavers began 40 years ago with the vision of two optometrists, Doug and Mary Perkins. Their passion for optometry has led Specsavers to become the largest privately‑owned optical group in the world, delivering high‑quality, affordable optical and hearing care. We are proud of how far we’ve come as a business, and we want you to grow with us too.
