Philip Djeabo
Optometrist
Working with Specsavers gives me a strong sense of fulfilment, as the brand's reach allows me to use my expertise to serve a large volume of people. I feel proud to be part of a company that helps me make a meaningful impact on many lives.
Tomi Fayefunmi
Optometrist
Working at Specsavers feels incredibly flexible, especially with a four-day work week and condensed hours. This extra day off feels like a game-changer, giving me time to pursue my passions and significantly boosting my job satisfaction.
Zahrah Haleem
Optometrist
Specsavers feels like a family. From weekends as an optical assistant to my pre-reg, their support has been constant. My director, supervisor and colleagues offered wisdom, advice and even chocolate! Their support is invaluable, shaping me into a better optometrist and person.
