Overview
Join to apply for the Optometrist role at Specsavers
As an Optometrist here, you’ll be the go-to for eye examinations and contact lens services, helping us keep the nation seeing 20/20. You’ll work with the store team to deliver high-standard clinical care and customer service to meet patient needs and business objectives, and you’ll help create a warm and friendly environment for our customers and our team.
Our store Specsavers in Caerphilly is looking for an ambitious and talented Optometrist to join their thriving store. The practice is equipped with modern technical diagnostic equipment, ideal for those seeking clinical advancement, higher accreditations, or aiming to attain equity shareholding in the future. This is a great practice for developing your career clinically and professionally. Colleague development takes centre stage; whether you want higher accreditations such as IP or are interested in becoming a director one day, guidance and support are available from senior management and directors.
In October 2023, a new contract for the delivery of eye care services in the community came into force in Wales – Wales General Ophthalmic Services (WGOS). Under the new regulations, optometrists will be able to fully utilise their professional higher accreditations when delivering eye care at primary level.
Non-WGOS registered Optometrists can contact HEIW at heiw.optometry@wales.nhs.uk for information on mandatory training and NWSSP at nwssp-primarycareservices@wales.nhs.uk for information on registration.
