Job description

Audiology Partnership, Staines-upon-Thames

50% share sale, + guaranteed salary up to £50,000 plus dividends

Specsavers Staines is looking for an ambitious Audiologist or Hearing Aid Dispenser to become the new Audiology Partner / Business Owner.

This is a great opportunity to take ownership of an established and successful audiology business, building on strong foundations alongside experienced and highly supportive Optical and Retail Partners. With a dedicated Hearcare room, a fully trained store team and an affluent customer base, you'll be joining a business with exciting potential for future growth.

As an Audiology Partner, you'll have the freedom to grow your own business, serve your local community, create a long-term asset for you and your family, and share directly in the success that you help create.

Why Staines?

Located on the banks of the River Thames, Staines-upon-Thames is a thriving and affluent market town offering the perfect balance between business opportunity and quality of life. The town benefits from excellent transport links, with London accessible in around 30 minutes and easy connections to Reading and the wider Thames Valley.

The Specsavers business has been serving the local community since 1999 and has built a strong reputation for customer care and professional excellence. The existing optical partners are highly engaged, supportive and passionate about developing both people and businesses, with a proven track record of nurturing successful partnerships over many years.

The Hearcare business already benefits from:

• A dedicated Hearcare room
• A full store team trained to support audiology services
• An experienced Hearcare team including:
  • 1 Full-Time Audiologist, 1 Full-Time Administrator and great locum relationships to support the business when needed
• Excellent referral opportunities from the established optical business
• Loyal customers and strong community presence

With favourable demographics across both Staines and neighbouring Egham, including a significant over-55 population, the opportunity for continued growth is substantial. The business has already achieved success and presents an exciting platform for an entrepreneurial partner to further develop clinics, increase customer awareness and expand market share.

What's on Offer?

• Be your own boss while receiving a base salary of up to £50,000
• 50% shareholding in the business with profit share (dividends)
• Shares that grow in value as you build the business
• Flexibility and autonomy with a genuine work-life balance
• The opportunity to build and shape your own team
• Make a lasting difference in your local community
• Access to industry-leading clinical technology
• Outstanding clinical, leadership and personal development opportunities
• Ongoing support from the Specsavers brand
• Dedicated support from experienced Retail and Optometry Partners
• Financial and business support throughout your partnership journey

The Opportunity

This partnership is ideal for an ambitious clinician with a commercial mindset and a passion for growing a business.

The local demographics, strong existing customer base and established reputation create considerable opportunity for a driven partner to elevate the Hearcare offering even further. With the support of experienced partners and a well-trained team, you'll have the foundations needed to focus on developing clinics, building local relationships and growing customer awareness across the region.

You'll be joining a partnership team that believes in investing in people, supporting innovation and creating long-term success together.

Requirements of the Role

We're looking for a qualified HCPC-registered Audiologist or Hearing Aid Dispenser who is passionate about delivering outstanding customer care and excited by the prospect of business ownership.

The successful candidate will:

• Demonstrate strong clinical and customer care skills
• Build excellent relationships with customers, colleagues and the local community
• Bring drive, ambition and commercial awareness
• Embrace the opportunity to lead and develop a successful Hearcare business
• Share our commitment to maintaining the high standards and customer-focused culture already established within the store

About Joint Venture Partnership

Joint Venture Partnership is the secret to our success at Specsavers. Every store is locally owned and led by its directors, giving partners the autonomy to shape their own future while benefiting from the support of one of the world's leading optical and audiology brands.

Business ownership is considered by many to be the pinnacle of an Audiologist's career. We believe hearing care should be led by hearing care professionals, which is why this opportunity enables you to combine your clinical expertise with genuine business ownership.

At Specsavers, the customer always comes first. Our partnership model allows you to use your expertise to transform lives through better hearing, while building a successful business and creating a valuable asset for your future.

You'll still be a clinician at heart, but as a business owner, you'll also lead, inspire and develop your own team, helping to shape the future of hearing care in your community.
