About Specsavers Gloucester - 

Imagine stepping into a realm of retail excellence, where innovation meets tradition. Our flagship store in Gloucester stands tall as a beacon of longevity and scale, boasting not just one, but eight meticulously designed testing rooms split between 2 floors. At its helm are store partners Steve and Mark, visionaries driven by an unwavering commitment to redefine customer care. But their leadership extends beyond the storefront, embracing a culture of camaraderie and recognition through regular social gatherings and jubilant celebrations of triumph. Join us in this journey where every day promises growth, community, and the fulfilment of improving people's lives. Our Dispensing Opticians are the face of our clinic on the shop floor and usually an integral part of our store management team, so we’re keen to get you up to speed with management responsibilities. With ILM courses, supervision and Specsavers Partnership Pathway available, we can guide you on your way to becoming a great leader. This – along with your clinical expertise – will stand you in good stead if you choose to become a store director yourself one day.

We’re dedicated to our customers, but what really makes this role stand out is that we offer a workplace with a difference - where people grow both personally and professionally.

What’s on offer?

• Excellent salary & package
• Outstanding team dynamic, customer driven 
• Flexible hours/work patterns
• Medical & Dental cover
• A highly-rewarding performance-based bonus scheme
• Pension contribution
• Exceptional clinical and professional development opportunities
• Access to cutting-edge clinical technology, such as OCT

The Role:

• Ensure that you provide good levels of customer service at all times.
• Liaise with Optometrists to ensure that each customer you dispense receives a consistent quality handover.
• Manage aftersales service (including complaints and problem solving) in a customer service focused ‘can do’ manner.
• Contribute to achievement of individual and team sales targets by demonstrating effective professional sales techniques.

Then there’s you

Alongside being a qualified and GOC registered Dispensing Optician, we are searching for someone who shares our store’s ethos. Someone who wants to grow, develop and offer exceptional customer care along the way. We want a practitioner who prides themselves on their clinical judgment, that isn’t afraid of a hands-on approach and who is keen to get involved and build rapport with the rest of the team. In summary, we’re looking for a skilled Dispensing Optician to join us, be part of the team and assist in driving our practice forward.
