The independent optometrist at Specsavers Westbrook Mall is looking for an associate optometrist to join their thriving clinic.

We believe that access to quality eyecare should be a right, not a luxury. That's why we've made OCT available as a standard part of eye exams. With our advanced clinical equipment and an extensive range of affordable and high-quality eyewear, we're here to make a real difference in the lives of our customers.

  • NIDEK automated lensometer
  • NIDEK intelligent refract RT-6100
  • S4OPTIK slit lamp
  • Zeiss HFA3

Viewing patient pre-test reports and history is easier than ever and ensures so you can have more informed consultations with your patients.

Culture of Dedication: Join a team committed to community eyecare and proactive monitoring of eye health for preventable vision loss, with OCT available as a standard part of every eye exam.

Clinical Autonomy: Practice in a private, independent clinic with the support and resources of Specsavers, giving you the freedom to deliver care your way.

Pre-test Support:Trained eyecare consultants welcome and take your patients through pre-testing so you have reports sent directly to your exam room to prepare for your consultations.

Professional Development:Get access to a qualified optometry support consultant for professional development on-site and virtually.
