The role
Specsavers. A household name and a High Street staple — and you could be leading one of our most vital teams.
We’re looking for a dedicated, driven Optical Lab Manager who’s ready to take charge of our optical laboratory and play a key role in delivering outstanding products — and ultimately outstanding care — to our customers. At Specsavers Aldershot, you’ll be joining a community‑focused team full of people from all walks of life and all levels of experience.
If you’re passionate about developing people, maintaining high standards, and ensuring our lab runs smoothly and efficiently, you can make a real impact here. As long as you’re ready to work hard to support both colleagues and customers, whoever you are, you can lead the way at Specsavers.

Located in the heart of Aldershot, Hampshire, our modern and welcoming Specsavers store is a vibrant hub of activity, just a short walk from the bustling Wellington Centre. With four fully equipped test rooms and state‑of‑the‑art optical technology, we offer a bright and contemporary environment designed for both excellent customer care and a great colleague experience. The store is easily accessible by public transport, with Aldershot train station under a 10 minute walk away. For those travelling by car, there is a convenient multi‑storey car park directly behind the store, where team members benefit from discounted parking. Friendly, supportive, and full of opportunity, our Aldershot store is an exciting place to grow your career and make a real impact in the local community.
Our Team
You’ll be joining a friendly and collaborative team in our Aldershot store, where collaboration and a genuinely supportive atmosphere are at the heart of everything we do. Our in‑store lab plays an important role in keeping things running smoothly, ensuring swift, high‑quality glazing and providing a great learning environment for anyone interested in developing their technical skills. The team take pride in creating a fun and friendly workplace, and they make time to celebrate together too — with two big social events each year, including a summer party and a festive Christmas get‑together. It’s a warm, welcoming environment where you can feel valued, grow your skills, and truly enjoy coming to work.
