Join our team as an Optometrist at Htichin Specsavers, where we recognise that our people are critical to our past and future success.

We are passionate about your clinical development as an optical professional and we are committed to supporting you on extra courses and specialisms that interest you. Whatever your ambitions, from WOPEC qualifications and Independent Prescribing to Paediatric Accreditations and Enhanced Optical Services, we’ll do everything we can to help you be the best clinician you can be. 

Our Optometrists are the face of our professional practice and usually an integral part of our store management team, so we’re keen to get you up to speed outside the test room too. With ILM courses, pre-reg supervision and Specsavers Partnership Pathway available, we can guide you on your way to becoming a great leader. This – along with your clinical expertise – will stand you in good stead if you choose to become a store director yourself one day.

Following a recent expansion, the team here at Hitchin Specsavers are refreshed and raring to go. We now have a second pre-testing area, new staffroom, and 6 fully kitted-out test rooms, all with top-of-the-range equipment for your use – meaning you have everything you need to perform sight tests to the highest possible standards.

Welcome to the countryside

This position will take you into the quaint town of Hitchin, known for its rich culture and history - perfect for people looking to escape to the country. Not only is the landscape brimming with beautiful views and architecture, it is within an easy distance of major towns including London and Watford. Despite being remote, we still profit from having a train station, a short walk from the practice, and close links to the A1 motorway.

Role Requirements

Alongside being a qualified and GOC registered Optometrist, the right person for this position will be confident with a strong worth ethic and a willingness to succeed. You will be passionate about your job and enjoy a busy, sometimes fast-paced, environment. We are looking for an Optometrist who will go the extra mile for our customers. What’s more, someone who encourages their colleagues to do the same. In summary, we’re looking for a high calibre resident Optometrist to join us and assist in driving this excellent practice forward.
