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.
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.
Karishma Patel

Working at Specsavers has given me the opportunity to enrol in the Pathway to Partnership programme, which is incredibly exciting. The prospect of having my own business feels very rewarding and motivates me to keep pushing forward.
