We are passionate about the clinical development of our team, and as our new Optometrist, we would support you with extra courses and specialisms that interest you. Whatever your ambitions, from WOPEC qualifications and independent prescribing to paediatric accreditations or enhanced optical services, we’ll do everything we can to help you be the best clinician you can be.

Our Optometrists are an integral part of our store management team, so we’re keen to get you up to speed outside the test room too. With ILM courses, Pre-Reg supervision and the Specsavers Partnership scheme (Pathway) all available to explore. Along with your clinical expertise – this will stand you in good stead if you choose to become a store director yourself one day.

What makes us different?
The role offers the opportunity to work with Consultant Ophthalmologists both directly and via telemedicine. Secondary care level Glaucoma and cataract patient services are seen within the practice. Furthermore, consultant led training and coaching will be available in addition to the enhanced optical services expertise from our EOS Heads.

This position will take you into the town of Grimsby. It is within an easy distance of major towns including Hull, Lincoln, and Doncaster, whilst benefitting from being a short commute from some beautiful areas including Weelsby Woods, Peoples Park and Cleethorpes Beach. Despite being remote, we profit from having a train station a short walk from the practice, bus routes to the surrounding areas and easily accessible parking to those who wish to drive. The area boasts excellent nursery, schools, and leisure facilities, and with financial support from the store, this opportunity is also open to those wishing to relocate to the area.

Platinum employer
Our store is an accredited Platinum Employer – this means you can expect an exceptional employee experience every single day you work here. The Platinum Employer Scheme is part of the Specsavers drive to become a famous place to work.

What we’re looking for
Alongside being a qualified and GOC registered Optometrist, the right person for this position will be confident, possess a strong worth ethic and a willingness to succeed. You’ll be passionate about your job and enjoy a fast-paced environment. We are looking for an Optometrist who will go the extra mile for our customers and someone who encourages their colleagues to do the same. In summary, we’re looking for a high calibre resident Optometrist to join us and assist in driving this excellent practice forward.
