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.
Philip Djeabo
Optometrist
Working with Specsavers gives me a strong sense of fulfilment, as the brand's reach allows me to use my expertise to serve a large volume of people. I feel proud to be part of a company that helps me make a meaningful impact on many lives.
Aman Patel
Optometrist
Specsavers feels like a second home. They supported me through my move, pre-reg and exams, which boosted my confidence. Even after qualifying, their continued support and funding for further studies make me feel really appreciated.
