About us:

Skegness is a beautiful seaside town on the Lincolnshire Coast. It is known for many things ranging from its tranquil award-winning sandy beaches to its historic pier. It is also home to the first ever Butlins holiday resort and hold festivals and carnivals.

Our Store is a few minutes’ walk from the beach and offers fantastic transport links to Lincoln and Nottingham. We run from four testing rooms fully kitted out from a resent refit with Phoropters and OCT.

 

Specsavers in Skegness are looking for a forward-thinking Optometrist. An incredible opportunity awaits: the salary, the location, the lifestyle and an excellent store – the only thing missing is you. With an outstanding Salary up to £60,000 including a lucrative bonus scheme, relocation bonus and much more – joining Specsavers in Skegness as our next Optometrist truly is a fabulous opportunity.

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 5 test rooms, the latest clinical technology, and a team of 27 – which includes fully trained optical assistants, so everything is in place to let you focus on what you do best.
