Are you a proactive, people-focused individual who loves helping others? Whether you’re experienced in optics or completely new to the industry with strong transferable skills, you could be the perfect fit for our team.
At Specsavers Waverley, we’re looking for someone who can bring enthusiasm, great customer service, and a willingness to learn. If you already have experience as an Optical Advisor or Dispensing Assistant and can dispense up to multifocal lenses, that’s a fantastic bonus — but if not, don’t worry. With the right attitude, passion for customer care, and eagerness to develop, we’ll give you all the training and support you need to thrive.
What’s on Offer?
Alongside a supportive team and brilliant training opportunities, you’ll also enjoy:
Annual salary of £25,882, increasing to £26,925 from April 2026
Specsavers Perks – our employee discount and benefits scheme
28 days holiday including bank holidays
Your birthday off
Enhanced company sick pay (after 3-month probation)
Eyecare & Hearcare discounts
WeCare wellbeing support
Enhanced family leave (maternity/paternity)
What We’re Looking For
You might already have:

A passion for delivering excellent customer service
Strong teamwork and good initiative
Confidence using IT systems
Great communication and listening skills
A willingness to step out of your comfort zone and try new things
Openness to feedback and personal development
But we’re also very happy to consider inexperienced candidates with strong transferable skills — for example, from retail, hospitality, call centres, care, or any other customer-facing role. If you’re friendly, motivated, and eager to learn, we want to hear from you.
Desirable Experience (but not essential)
Previous work in a fast-paced customer service environment
Experience in optics or audiology
