There’s something very special about being a Hearing Aid Dispenser at Specsavers Hearcare in Staines; when we say, we work as a team, we mean it. We only invest in the kind of supportive, inspiring people who help each other to be the best they can be. 


Specsavers Hearcare is now the largest private supplier of digital hearing aids in the country and, most importantly, we are leading the way in delivering Hearcare services to our rapidly growing number of AQP patients. Because of our expansion, we are able to offer you a position testing both private and AQP patients. 


About Specsavers 
Our passion is to deliver outstanding patient care, combined with sound dispensing advice and product recommendations that best suit individual customer needs. In additional to the highest quality equipment, we aim to provide both our store staff and our customers with an excellent overall environment. At Specsavers, we treat people as we would wish to be treated, and as such, you will be supported by well trained and motivated retail staff, in addition to an expert professional team. Our expectation is that you will share our vision to provide our patients with the very best professional service as well as exceptional customer care on every visit to your store.

Our Hub and Spoke set up
Our Hearcare businesses consist of the ‘hub’ store and a number of ‘spoke’ stores. The business will be named after the hub store. They then provide clinics in the spokes which are located in the nearby surrounding area and are usually Specsavers stores. We have also branched out into external clinics in various NHS locations in the local area. As our hearcare business continues to grow some of our hub stores are now stand alone stores that offer hearing tests only. Lastly, many of our hearcare businesses offer domiciliary to our patients that are unable to visit us in store. 

 

At Specsavers Hearcare in Staines you will cover clinics in our hub store in Staines and our spoke stores in Feltham, Egham and Hampton. We offer private and AQP testing at Feltham and Hampton and private only in Staines and Egham. We also offer domiciliary so a driving licence is essential for this role.
