Job description

Position: Lead Optometrist
Location:  Gillingham, Kent

Salary: OTE of £70,000 per annum (including uncapped bonus scheme) plus £10,000 welcome bonus 
Working hours: Full time over 4 days per week (only 1 weekend day every 5 weeks!)

Experience level: You must be a GOC registered Optometrist

Specsavers in Gillingham are looking for a new Lead Optometrist. On the back of substantial and on-going growth, we’re seeking an ambitious and talented Lead Optometrist to join our dynamic team at Specsavers in Gillingham. Be part of our continued success at one of the leading opticians in this fantastic area.

What’s on Offer?

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.

Don’t just take our word for it:

“When I started at Gillingham Specsavers is when I knew my dream of becoming a Retail Director was going to come true. Lots of employers make promises in the interviews that never materialize. The Directors at Medway are definitely an exception of that. I was always very transparent with them about my aim to become a Retail Director and the support they gave me throughout my employment and beyond was just invaluable. The values they hold and the respect they show each employee is second to none and it shows in their success they have had within Medway. I am extremely grateful to them for all they have done for me and are continuing to do for me even now in my own store. I wish them all the success in the future.”

Agron Teli, Retail Director at Specsavers Tenterden

Platinum employer
Our store is an accredited Platinum Employer – this means you can expect an exceptional employee experience every single day you work here. The Platinum Employer Scheme is part of the Specsavers drive to become a famous place to work. Stores with this accreditation have been verified on five key employer standards: Recruitment, Performance Management and Reward, Talent Management, Learning and Development and Employee Engagement.

What we’re looking for

Alongside being a qualified and GOC registered Optometrist, we are searching for someone who shares our store’s ethos. Someone who wants to grow, develop and offer exceptional customer care along the way. We want a practitioner who prides themselves on their clinical judgment, that isn’t afraid of a hands-on approach and who is keen to get involved and build rapport with the rest of the team. In summary, we’re looking for a skilled resident Optometrist to join us, be part of the team and assist in driving our practice forward.
