Itâs a big misconception that apprenticeships are just for new starters, but theyâre also brilliant for current employees wanting to further their knowledge. Matt from the contact centre in our Nottingham office did just that.
When Dame Mary Perkins and her husband Doug discussed a new business idea around a table tennis table in their spare room more than 35 years ago, little did they know the global success it would become today.
Specsavers Audiology services are now available in over 1000 locations making it the biggest high street supplier of digital hearing aids and largest private AQP provider of NHS hearing aids, in the UK & Ireland.
This National Apprenticeship Week (February 3-7) Specsavers in Luton is encouraging people to sign up to the apprenticeship programmes on offer at the store with Natasha Soper flying the flag doing an audiology apprenticeship.
We spoke to Harneet who started her career journey in-store at 16 and has progressed through her Retailer Apprenticeship (and gaining a distinction in the process!) to her permanent role within the Product Team. Read on to find out all about her Apprenticeship journey.
We have made a commitment to provide hearing services in every store, every day. To help us deliver this commitment we are keen to speak to graduates who can help deliver audiology services at Specsavers.
Tuesday 3rd February 2020 alone saw seven new Specsavers Audiology Hub stores officially opened, contributing to a total of 19 new hubs opened in the last 12 months across the UK and Ireland.
We got the chance to speak to partner Anneita McLongley, about why she was drawn to the MBA apprenticeship and how itâs impacted her business.
Henna always knew she wanted a career in optics and thought attending a local sixth form college was the route for her. Fast forward 6 months and she decided it wasnât for her so changed her approach and started a Lab Technician Apprentice with Specsavers.
