Contact Lens Supervisor

As our Contact Lens Supervisor, you’ll make sure that the store’s Contact Lens area runs like clockwork. That means supporting other staff, making sure they’re familiar with systems and helping to deliver training. You’ll also be responsible for handling orders and dealing directly with customers in the contact centre clinic. You’ll show people how to insert, remove and care for their lenses, as well as assisting the Contact Lens Optician. At Specsavers, we do everything in our power to help people like you get the career you want. Why? Because we know that our Contact Lens Supervisors are responsible for providing the kind of outstanding service that’s turned one in three UK contact lens wearers into Specsavers customers. So, you can expect not just support and encouragement, but the kind of career development and training that are only available through a large – and growing – business like ours. For a role such as this, you will need experience in a similar role, or as a Contact Lens Assistant or Optical Assistant looking to utilise your passion for contact lenses, equally important are good customer care skills. You’ll combine both to offer a highly professional service that will result in repeat business, increased profitability and an excellent reputation for your store.
