Specsavers Home Visits
Making a difference - in the community
As a domiciliary optometrist, you can help our most vulnerable customers with their eyesight in the comfort of their homes.
You’ll see a range of conditions and increased pathology, making the role clinically engaging and a refreshing change from the familiar test room.
There is real flexibility and with a great work/life balance, you’ll have more time to do the things you enjoy and be with the people you love. You can work part time, with hours tailored to suit, and can work some days in store to give you even more variety.
Busting the myths with a day behind the scenes
If you’re wondering what a day with Specsavers Home Visits is really like, watch this short video and see what Optometrist Director Kejal Shah and her team get up to.
Kejal qualified from Aston University in 2004, moving to Hertford to complete her pre-reg and then to Bethnal Green where she started her Pathway to Partnership and took on the store in Feltham. After a brief stint in Australia, she returned to the UK to become a domiciliary partner, a role she describes as “absolutely amazing” (you can read her story here).
