Feel like yourself here
Our culture is more than just an environment, it's a feeling. We’ve worked hard to create a space where everyone can feel welcome, feel confident in their work, feel proud to make a difference, feel able to grow, and so much more. Whatever you want to feel, you can make it #FeelsLikeSpecsavers.
Helping people see and hear clearly for 40 years
When our founders Doug and Dame Mary Perkins opened the doors to the first Specsavers store in 1984, they wanted to make glasses accessible to everyone, at the best price.
We’ve spent the past 40 years providing accessible eye and hearing care to people across the globe. We are a truly multi-category business with optics, contact lenses, audiology, ophthalmology and broader eye care services all playing a part in us becoming recognised as a trusted healthcare brand. There is a well-established sense of pride in every single one of our team and our partners, that they are making a difference every day.
A great place to work… for everyone
We’ve been accredited a Great Place to Work® by the global authority on workplace culture for the past five years and in 2025 we were named the 2nd Best Workplace in New Zealand! It's a wonderful recognition of the diverse and inclusive culture we have created together, where individuals are respected, valued, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. We genuinely care about our people - and it shows.
