About the stores
Specsavers in Sittingbourne is the larger of the two businesses and first opened its doors in 1992 as an Optical business, adding Audiology to its proposition in 2010. The store sits in a prominent position in The Forum Shopping Centre in the heart of the town and is firmly embedded within the local community. The store boasts 6 Optical test rooms and 1 hearcare testing room – all fully equipped with the latest clinical technology. Sittingbourne is also an audiology hub providing services to its ‘spoke’ store Sheerness.
Sittingbourne is a vibrant market town in Kent which is growing rapidly due to a high number of residential developments and its direct train links to central London which can be reached in under an hour. There’s plenty of pubs, restaurants, historic houses and beautiful gardens in Sittingbourne with the Kent Downs, an official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on its doorstep.
Sheerness sits 10 miles to the north of Sittingbourne, on the north west corner of the Isle of Sheppey, and with a population of 12,000 it is the largest town on the island. The store is situated a 5 minute walk from the train station where trains run regularly to Sittingbourne and take less than 20 minutes.
Requirements of the role
Alongside being a qualified and GOC registered Optometrist, you’ll need to share the store’s ethos. They’re looking for someone who wants to grow and develop the team, offer exceptional customer care and improve patient outcomes. You’ll be a practitioner who prides themselves on their clinical judgment, isn’t afraid of a hands-on approach, and someone who is keen to get involved and build a rapport with their team. In summary, you’ll be a highly skilled Optometry professional willing and able to help drive the practice forward.
About Joint Venture Partnership
Joint venture partnership is the secret to our success here at Specsavers, with every store locally owned and led by its directors. Owning, leading and growing your very own business is considered by many to be the pinnacle of your career as a clinician or retailer – this is your chance to become the leader you were born to be.
