Time to try something new?
Maybe now is the right time for you to try something new. Working in home visits gives you more variety and flexibility while still doing what you love, providing expert care.
You’ll visit people in their own homes alongside an experienced optical assistant, delivering eye care to those who need it most. It’s a role where every experience feels meaningful and where you can help make eye care more accessible in your community.
Why work with us?
We are a family business. We work in communities up and down the country, in practices and on the road. Yes, we’re the biggest provider of care, with ground-breaking technology and a support network that spans the globe. We’re also passionate about making expert eyecare affordable and accessible to all. We’re not one size fits all though. Our stores are locally owned and run by our partners, so we deliver eyecare that works for each community. Do you want to be part of it?

Zahrah Haleem
Optometrist
Specsavers feels like a family. From weekends as an optical assistant to my pre-reg, their support has been constant. My director, supervisor and colleagues offered wisdom, advice and even chocolate! Their support is invaluable, shaping me into a better optometrist and person.
Karishma Patel
Optometrist
Working at Specsavers has given me the opportunity to enrol in the Pathway to Partnership programme, which is incredibly exciting. The prospect of having my own business feels very rewarding and motivates me to keep pushing forward.
Philip Djeabo
