Optometry jobs at Specsavers
Optometrist, Keighley, West Yorkshire

 

Specsavers in Keighley are looking for a new Optometrist. On the back of substantial and on-going growth, we’re seeking an ambitious and talented Optometrist to join our dynamic team at Specsavers in Keighley. Be part of our continued success at one of the leading opticians in this fantastic area. 

 

About us:
Specsavers began more than 35 years ago with the vision of two optometrists, Doug and Mary Perkins, who set out to provide best-value eyecare to everybody. Their passion for optometry has led Specsavers to become the largest privately-owned optical group in the world, delivering high-quality, affordable optical and hearing care in 10 countries. And it continues to shape the lives and experience of thousands of colleagues who are developing their careers with us across the globe. We are proud of how far we’ve come as a business, now we want to see you grow with us too.

 

What’s on Offer?

  • A generous annual salary (depending on experience)
  • A strong performance-based bonus scheme 
  • Holiday allowance of 33 days per year
  • Pension contribution
  • GOC fees covered
  • Outstanding clinical and professional development opportunities
  • Access to the latest clinical technology such as OCT

 

We are passionate about the clinical development of our team, and as our new Optometrist, we would support you with extra courses and specialisms that interest you. Whatever your ambitions, from WOPEC qualifications and independent prescribing to paediatric accreditations or enhanced optical services, we’ll do everything we can to help you be the best clinician you can be.  


Our Optometrists are 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 the Specsavers Partnership scheme (Pathway) all available to explore. Along with your clinical expertise – this will stand you in good stead if you choose to become a store director yourself one day.
 

We’re fully equipped with 8 test rooms, the latest clinical technology (including OCT), and a team of 50 – which includes fully trained optical assistants, so everything is in place to let you focus on what you do best. 

 

Our location
We’re located in the lovely town of Keighley, a parish of Bradford, nestled between the charming countryside of Airedale and the Haworth Moorland – 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 Bradford and Leeds. We have great transport links including regular buses and a train station within walking distance of the store, that gets you to and from Bradford or Leeds in around 30 minutes.

 

Platinum employer
Our 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, the right person for this position will be confident, possess a strong worth ethic and a willingness to succeed. You’ll be passionate about your job and enjoy a fast-paced environment. We are looking for an Optometrist who will go the extra mile for our customers and 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.
