We have a wide range of skills and expertise in our business, and you’ll have all types of development available to you. From technical systems training to behavioural skills development to leadership development programs, we make sure you have the development you need available to help you build your skills of choice.
Growing our team
We’re focused on investing our people and helping you cultivate the career you want. If becoming a Specsavers partner is your goal, we support you to achieve this through our Pathway program. Designed for optical and retail professionals working with Specsavers, this intensive, six-month program will equip you with business knowledge and skills you need to take the step into partnership.
A tailored approach
We have a dedicated internal team who understand both the needs of our team and our business, who ensure we have fresh, quality learning available. We know we can’t do everything internally, so we also partner with world class experts to deliver learning to our organisation regularly and invite well-known speakers to come to us to share their insights and learnings from their experiences.
