  • Individuals with GSCE Maths at Grade 9-4 (A*-C), or an equivalent level qualification
  • Individuals who have lived in the EU for 3 years or more, with the right to work in the UK

What will you gain?

Your on-the-job training will sit alongside structured learning that will lead to a nationally recognised qualification. At the end of your apprenticeship, you’ll be a fully-fledged Level 3 Optical Assistant. Over the course of 15-18 months with us, you’ll:

  • Earn a salary - paid monthly
  • Gain valuable work experience in a full-time role
