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.
Aman Patel
Optometrist
Specsavers feels like a second home. They supported me through my move, pre-reg and exams, which boosted my confidence. Even after qualifying, their continued support and funding for further studies make me feel really appreciated.
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.
Karishma Patel
Optometrist
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.
