Home Visits (Domiciliary) Optical Assistant

Role: Home Visits (Domiciliary) Optical Assistant

Are you ready to take your skills on the road? As a Home Visits Optical Assistant at Specsavers, you can do just that.    

You’ll be driving our services to the doorsteps of the nation, providing eye care to the people who aren’t able to come into our stores. But not only do you help them with their sight, you’ll be able to support them to get basic tasks done that they wouldn’t be able to do without you. Essentially, you’ll be bringing smiles and clinical care to the heart of your community.   

The job is varied: you’ll work in a range of locations and testing environments every day – no two days are the same. With more 1-on-1 time spent with patients in the place where they feel most comfortable, you can really cater to their needs and make them feel as important as we know they really are! 

Our business  

You’ll be providing care to vulnerable patients in their own homes across Essex. Our region stretches from Romford across to Colchester and from Bishop's Stortford down to Southend-on-Sea, but our ever-expanding team is scattered across the region so we will always aim to keep you as close to home as possible. 

Our team  

We have a wonderful existing team of dedicated people from optical and administrative backgrounds, who are ready and waiting for you to meet them.

Our cars  

You’ll be provided with a car allowance
