An attractive opportunity has opened for a full time Optometrist in our Melksham Specsavers store in the Wiltshire. This store is a part of the UK's most trusted optical brand and has enjoyed a strong period of growth recently – so as a result are looking to add and strengthen their team.

 

We’re looking for....

 

An Optometrist to work as part of a team focused on delivering total satisfaction to our customers by conducting thorough eye examinations, contact lens assessments and contact lens aftercare.

You’ll offer our customers recommendations to the highest professional and ethical standards – which is something our customers have come to expect from us. You’ll also use your knowledge to effectively identify customer needs and recommend eyewear and eye care solutions accordingly.

 

We are looking for an Optometrist to work alongside our Ophthalmic Director and to play an active role in the provision of mentoring the store team as well as providing technical advice and guidance to the store team to encourage best practice at all times. You’ll also work closely with our in store Lab team to ensure all eye wear is produced to the correct specifications so that when a customer collects their order it has your quality seal of approval.

 

If this sounds like you, on offer is:

  • A competitive basic salary
  • Excellent continued development opportunities through JVP Pathway, Enhanced Optical Services and Pre-Reg supervision
  • Alternate weekends off!
  • A supportive working environment
  • Competitive bonus scheme
  • 5 weeks holiday entitlement per annum
  • Choice of Automatic Nidek Phoropter or Trial Frames

 

You’ll need to demonstrate good attention to detail along with a passion for customer service. Team work also forms a big part of our culture so the ability to work well with other people is essential.

 

Our store is fitted with the latest, cutting edge optical equipment. We offer an extensive amount of enhanced clinical services including cataracts appointments, glaucoma testing. We always aim to be the very best both clinically and in customer service. Our experienced, diverse and friendly team are always on hand to offer support and take care of patient’s needs, meaning that you can focus on offering a first-class sight test to our loyal customers.  


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. 


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.
