You’ll also make sure that you are producing the highest quality assured product.
Your on-the-job training will sit alongside structured learning and at the end of the 15-18 months as an apprentice, you’ll be a fully-fledged Level 3 Optical Technician.
You’ll need a grade 9-4 (A*-C) GCSEs in Maths (or equivalent/predicted result).
It’s not essential to have worked in the Optical sector, this a new adventure, but you will need the organisation, commitment, motivation and enthusiasm to deliver the great product our Specsavers visitors love. Who knows, you might even end up running your own store in years to come...
