Job description

Optometry Partner - Start your new, independent clinic with the latest technology  

Duncan, BC

Specsavers is the world's largest, privately-owned optical retailer. Our journey began over 40 years ago in the UK, with visionary optometrists Doug and Mary Perkins. Today, we support over 2,600 healthcare businesses, passionately caring for more than 42 million patients and customers worldwide.

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.

If you're passionate about making a difference, providing incredible care, and being part of a values and purpose-driven organization, join us on our journey to revolutionize the way Canadians experience eyecare. Together, we can change lives through better sight.

  • Ownership: Experience an environment where you have the autonomy to steer the direction of your clinic and optometry practice
  • Clinical Excellence: Provide clinical leadership and ensure that all patients get the best accessible, quality eyecare from you and your optometrists with leading equipment
  • Professional Development: Coach and motivate your clinical team to get the best out of every day and to always keep learning and developing
  • Connect with Peers: Experience clinical and professional development opportunities with a global network of optometrists to share ideas on the Optometry Steering Group, keep up to date on new clinical initiatives, and discuss meaningful ownership topics with the Partner Advisory Council.

What are the benefits of becoming an owner?

  • Flexibility to steer your career and clinic with the support and resources of Specsavers 
  • A fully integrated clinic with the latest technology including: the NIDEK Tonoref 3, NIDEK automated lensometer, Topcon Maestro2, NIDEK intelligent refract RT-6100, S4OPTIK slit lamp, and Zeiss HFA3 with SITA Faster visual field.
