Why
Specsavers?
All sorts of people make their careers with Specsavers, and that diversity really is our strength – we’re all as different as the customers and communities we help every day.
That word ‘community’ is a big deal for us too – the way our stores and our business are structured is all about making sure that we have a happy, close-knit group of people who are working hard for their customers. A lot of that comes from the fact that although we’re one of the UK’s leading opticians – and a global business – we’re still family run. So, we think of ourselves as one big family that everyone feels they have a stake in.
You have the opportunity to run your own business as well as being a clinician
Benefits & Salary
Being an optometrist is a demanding role that requires a big commitment from you. But we’re also happy to invest in your talent in return – salaries for optometrists at Specsavers start from around £30,000, with the package increasing from there as your expertise and your role grows. That compares well to other graduate jobs, and when you consider that it’s a qualification that will guarantee you a salary throughout your career, then it’s an attractive career choice. We also make sure that there are plenty of other reasons for you to choose and then stay with Specsavers – from a pension scheme, paid health and dental schemes and health insurance through to a quarterly bonus scheme. Every store has a bespoke benefits package which may include eye care vouchers, a parking space, flexible working hours and a store discount tailored to suit your needs.
