Along with your clinical expertise – this will stand you in good stead if you choose to become a store director yourself one day.
Our location
We’re located in the beautiful town of Hexham, known for its history – perfect for people looking to escape to the country. Not only is the landscape brimming with incredible views and stunning architecture, it is within an easy distance of major towns including Newcastle, Carlisle and Durham whilst benefitting from being a short commute from some beautiful areas including the Pennines. Despite being remote, we have great transport links including a train station within walking distance of the store, and we’re close to the A69 main road.
Platinum EmployerOur store is an accredited Platinum Employer – this means you can expect an exceptional employee experience every single day you work here. The Platinum Employer Scheme is part of the Specsavers drive to become a famous place to work. Stores with this accreditation have been verified on five key employer standards: Recruitment, Performance Management and Reward, Talent Management, Learning and Development and Employee Engagement.
What we’re looking for
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.
