About the Role
At Asda, nothing is more important to us than the health and wellbeing of our customers. Our Optical Managers are key to our success, ensuring the team has everything needed to deliver high-quality service and clinical care. Our fixed-price approach means no up-selling, with single vision glasses priced the same as varifocals, and no top-up costs for anti-scratch or thinner lenses.
You will be supported by our Home Office teams and Area Managers, who will provide clinical support and performance feedback.
