Everything you need to deliver exceptional care

You'll work alongside passionate professionals who share a commitment to changing lives through better sight. Here, your focus stays where it belongs - in the exam room, delivering thoughtful, patient-centred care, not chasing sales targets.

  • Topcon Maestro2 
  • Reichert Manual Phoropter

Integrated pre-test support - trained eyecare consultants welcome and guide your patients through pre-testing, with results sent directly to your exam room for your consultation

 

Clinical autonomy - practice in an independent clinic with the freedom to deliver care your way, supported by Specsavers' technology and resources

Ongoing development - access dedicated optometry support consultants and annual continuing education opportunities for professional growth

Clinic ownership when you're ready - develop your business acumen and ability to lead teams. Apply to Pathway, a business development program designed to support you in taking the next steps to become a clinic owner at your pace.

Compensation 

Percentage of billings: 65%-70% 

Final compensation will be determined based on experience and skillset by the independent clinic owner. 

 

What makes a clinic within a Specsavers different?

At Specsavers, we believe quality eyecare starts with a simple idea: putting people first, always. For over 40 years, Specsavers has been committed to making quality eyecare and affordable eyewear accessible to everyone - because we believe no one should have to compromise on their eye health, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Today, we're the world's largest privately owned optical retailer and still a family-owned business. We're a place where you can feel you belong, and be part of something that truly makes a difference.
