The role
Specsavers. A household name and a Highstreet staple. And you could be part of the team.
We’re looking for a hard-working, passionate Optometrist who is ready to provide our customers with the best eyecare in the business. At Specsavers Honiton, you’ll join a community focused team full of people from all walks of life and all levels of experience. So, as long as you’re a qualified and GOC registered Optometrist, whoever you are, you can make a difference here.
People choose us - for care and careers. Because feeling supported and valued makes a difference. We were proud to be ranked 16th best place to work in the world in 2024 by Great Place to Work®, a reflection of the supportive, people-first culture we’ve built.
We’re locally owned by people who understand our communities, powered by leading-edge technology, and committed to making eye care accessible and affordable for everyone. When you join us, you’re choosing more than a job - you’re choosing a place where you can thrive.
Our store
Based in Honiton, our store boasts 5 test tooms with all the latest equipment, utilised by the 25 members of the team!
The Location
Once described as having ‘the most beautiful landscape in the world’, Honiton is set in the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. The town is also just a few miles from the Jurassic Coast, making this the perfect location to spend your days off during the Summer.
Despite the towns rural feel, Honiton is less than a 30 minute drive, or train ride, to the lively city of Exeter where you will find an array of high-street names, quirky independent retailers, cafés & restaurants, and an international airport.
To help you make the most of the lifestyle that this location offers, our Partners are happy to find a working pattern to suit your needs.

- Access to latest clinical technology and equipment
- Support with CPD points
- Regular team events and team building evenings
- Fun and welcoming team
What we're looking for?
We do need you to have a few skills to get started in this role. Firstly, you’ll need to be registered as a member of the General Optical Council (keeping this up to date). We will also need you to be able and willing to supervise a pre-registration Optometrist. You’ll also need to be confident and passionate about providing the best customer service and work well as part of a team.
Got all of these? We can’t wait for you to apply!
