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 ready to provide our customers with the best eyecare in the business. At Specsavers South Shields, we enjoy a collaborative and supportive environment and our team members have enjoyed many years working here. You will be joined by other Optometrists, with 5 test rooms long and short form all fitted with phoropters and OCT. The clinics are rolling and you will be working a mixture of 20/25 minute alternate testing times dependent on the patient needs. 

South Shields is a coastal town in Tyne and Wear. We are within a 10 minute drive to the beach, where you can pop to Colmans Seafood Temple for some fantastic seafood, or for something more on the go, Temple Tacos for a Crispy Prawn or Fish Taco and delicious Fish and Chips. You could then take a stroll on the beach down to "Ocean Beach Pleasure Park" theme park which has rides and arcades suitable for all ages. We are close to the A1 and A19 and 5 minutes from the metro station, so easily accessible from most of Newcastle and surrounding.

What’s on Offer? 

As well as all the support you need and great training and development opportunities, we have a whole load of benefits on offer for you to enjoy. These include: 

  • Up to £65,000 per annum (experience depending)
