Life in a large store

This large Specsavers store has a total of 7 testing rooms, so you’ll be joining a large team with plenty of opportunity to grow with the support of clinical professionals around you.

The store is well established within the town and you’ll also have the opportunity to work at our sister store in Tiverton.

The area:

Taunton is the County Town of Somerset, offering all the benefits of a built up and busy location, yet within arms reach of the rural Somerset countryside and Blackdown Hills, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. With easy access via rail and the M5 motorway, the bustling cities of Exeter and Bristol are only a short drive away as well as the beautiful coastlines and world heritage sites that the South West has to offer.

Then there’s you.
Alongside being a qualified and GOC registered Optometrist, we are searching for someone who shares our store’s ethos. Someone who wants to grow, develop and offer exceptional customer care along the way. We want a practitioner who prides themselves on their clinical judgment, that isn’t afraid of a hands-on approach and who is keen to get involved and build rapport with the rest of the team. In summary, we’re looking for a skilled resident Optometrist to join us, be part of the team and assist in driving our practice forward.
