Responsibilities
At Asda Opticians, there is nothing more important than the health and wellbeing of our customers; our priority is to always put them first by delivering high‑quality patient care and service.
A typical day will involve completing eye examinations, contact‑lens examinations and extended‑service examinations. You will be working alongside our Dispensing Optician Manager to support our colleagues with training, coaching and maintaining all of our departmental standards.
Due to our extended‑service contracts with the NHS, we’re committed to delivering a wide range of care for the treatment and monitoring of eye conditions and will support you to gain any additional accreditations you may need in order to deliver these services. At Asda, we are extremely passionate and committed to providing our Optometrists with all the training they will need to fulfil their role and enhance their skills. Not only do we have a fantastic CPD programme, but we also offer protected time to our Optometrists to complete further accreditations, funded by Asda.
Our programme ensures you have the full training package to meet the ever‑changing eye‑care needs of our customers. One optional opportunity for our GOC‑registered professionals is to supervise students – a rewarding way to support the next generation of optical professionals while also enhancing your own skills and development. With in‑store, regional and home‑office teams, you will be fully supported in all aspects of your role whether your query is clinical or service based; there is always someone on hand to offer expert advice and support.
Rota: Monday – 09:00 – 18:00. We are seeking a dedicated Optometrist to join our dynamic team, committed to excellence in healthcare, eager to contribute to our store's excellent service levels, and foster positive relationships within our team and community.
We want all colleagues to be able to bring their best and true selves to work, every day. Simply put, we want our colleagues to be proud to be Asda and proud to be themselves.
