About The Role

Specsavers in Washington are looking for an Optometrist as we embark on an exciting venture with a brand new store due to open in December 2024. We have 2 sites in Washington and as they are close together in The Galleries, we are moving in to one brand new bespoke unit, all fitted with state of the art equipment. There will be 9 test rooms with OCT and Phoroptor, including 2 HearCare rooms and 1 Contact Lens room.

We are looking for an Optometrist to join us ahead of this, where you will be based in our current store that has 6 test rooms and 1 HearCare room and then you can join the buzz of the new store opening.

The Optometrist Director (Simon White) has been present since February 2021 and the Retail Director (Claire Killeen) since March 2023. We are a young directorship team and love to get involved with the community. We proudly support pride month and we have a staff member who is a store representative with Prism (Specsavers LGBTQIA+ group). We also have a staff member who represents us in the Specsavers menopause forum.

Every Christmas we build our own Santa's grotto in store and hire a professional Santa to come along and hand out presents to the staff children. He's great and it's a fantastic night with food and drink provided for everyone and presents for all the kids.

Location Information

Washington sits in close proximity to the beautiful North East coastline including beaches with the prestigious Blue Flag and Seaside awards - high water quality and well-maintained beachfront. The nearest are Roker & Seaburn and they are only 8 miles from The Galleries.

Washington Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust nature reserve sits within the town and is a great place for spotting many varieties of birds as well as otters etc. A great place for a relaxing day out.
