Feel the freedom of being a partner
Partnership is at the heart of our success at Specsavers. We’re not one huge business, we’re thousands of small ones, owned and locally run by our partners. And you could be one of them. Here, you’ll never be on your own. You and your partner will manage the day to day running of the business. With low barriers to entry, it’s much more affordable than you might think, and we’ll be there right by your side with all the support you need to be successful.
Start your partnership conversationWhat is partnership?
Partnership isn’t just about owning a store and/or independent clinic. It’s knowing you’ve got what it takes to lead the way. It’s sharing the responsibility of running a business with others just as passionate as you are. Watch the video to find out more.
Why become a partner?
This is your opportunity to run your own store and independent clinic (if you’re an optometrist), without the worry of doing everything yourself. The support you get here as a partner is unmatched – everything from HR and recruitment, to IT and finance, help with marketing and PR, as well as procurement and purchasing. Essentially, you can look after your customers and patients and take care of your teams, and we look after you. That means your development doesn’t stop either. You’ll continue to grow your skills and experience, taking on new responsibilities and investing in other stores if you want to.
Open to everyone with a passion for eyecare
Whether you're an optometrist, optician, or retail professional, we look at your experience and ambition to find the right partnership. We look for a passion for patient care, an entrepreneurial mindset, with tenacity and the ability to lead. We can help support your development on the path towards partnership and with so many different options available, we’ll help you find a business that works for you and is affordable.
Get in touch
The first step is to meet with our Partnership team, who can help you understand partnership in more detail.
01
Explore your strengths
Next, we’ll take you through a series of assessments to see if partnership is the right fit for you and what support you might need.
02

If you’re ready for partnership, you’re matched with a complementary partner. You’ll be working closely with them, so it’s really important to get to know each other well.
03
Get started
Once you’re all set with your documents, it’s time to officially get the keys to your new business, with comprehensive business support along the way.
