You’ll work with the store team to deliver high-standard clinical care and customer service to meet both patient needs and business objectives. And of course, you’ll be a key part in creating a warm and friendly environment for our customers and our team.
Our store
Specsavers in Brecon, Powys is looking for a forward-thinking Optometrist to join our thriving team! We pride ourselves on our commitment to clinical excellence and our focus on work-life balance.
