Our store and Our Team

We are looking for a new Optometrist who will be working with 4 other Optometrists and working to 25 minute testing times, some of the team prefer 20 minute testing but there is no pressure for this.
The Directors really care about their team and it shows, they have set up a dedicated quiet/prayer room and foot washing facilities for those who wish to pray, separate to other areas. There is also a shower room if you don't have time at the gym or on those sunny days where you wish to take a brisk walk or cycle to work with an area to dry your towels.
There is parking nearby either on-street which is free and a short walk to the store, or a car park closer to the store which is payable.
