Could home visits suit you?
If you love the idea of taking your clinical skills into the community, Home Visits could be just what you're looking for. You'll spend your day travelling around a local area, visiting people who can't make it into a store, and seeing first-hand the difference you make in their own environment. Working alongside an experienced Optical Assistant at each visit, you'll have the time and space to focus on what matters - truly understanding your patients' needs and helping them live life more comfortably. Every day brings variety, meaningful moments, and the chance to make a real impact right where people need it most.
Explore roles hereWant to change the future of eyecare?
If you're a GOC-registered optometrist with strong commercial acumen—perhaps you've even run your own practice—the role of Clinical Performance Consultant (CPC) at Specsavers offers a unique opportunity to elevate your career. You'll combine your clinical expertise and business insight to mentor and support store partners, helping them deliver exceptional patient care while driving professional standards. Influencing clinical excellence across multiple locations, shaping the future of eye care, and making a meaningful impact - all without stepping away from the profession you’re passionate about. If you're ready to lead, inspire, and grow in a collaborative, forward-thinking environment, the CPC role could be perfect for you.

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.
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.
