Job description

40 million people wear spectacles in the UK alone, but the optical industry hasn’t changed in more than three centuries. Products are tired, standards are poor, and glasses wearers have got used to sub-standard experiences. We’re going to change that.

We're looking for a talented and passionate locum Optometrist who can support our beautiful stores on Saturday and Sundays.

The most important characteristic is an alignment to our core values. You will be the type of person

that always looks to improve things by finding a way that is simpler or simply better (Pioneer). You

will be someone that takes pride in their work, always doing it properly even when you’re exhausted

(Proud). And you will do all of this without ago, staying humble, accessible and empathetic (For All).

What you’ll be responsible for:

• Running a highly utilised clinic to the highest standards.
• Deliver the highest standards of patient care, building trust and loyalty.
• Consistently deliver the Cubitts Eye Exam experience.
• Take the time and care to explain to each patient all the elements of the exam.
• Excellent under pressure and capable of juggling a diverse set of responsibilities.
• Efficiently run the clinic and ensure supplies and standards are managed.
• Support the team to explain eye health and prescription terminology to patients.
• Support dispensing activities and optical learning.

Who are you:

• Aligned to and inspired by our Company Brand Values.
• BSc (Hons) Optometry from a leading institution.
• General Optical Council Registered.
• At least 5 years experience including OCT experience (not essential but preferred).
• You’re looking for a career in an exciting company where you can make a positive impact.
• You show great initiative, positivity, and patience.
• An excellent communicator, both written and verbal.
• You thrive in a busy environment, enjoy responsibility and take pride in what you do.
• You’re highly organised, possessing meticulous attention to detail and a keen interest in aesthetics.
• Passionate about sustainability, reducing waste and protecting the environment.
• A genuine passion for spectacles, including their design and history.

Some nice things you'll get:

• Complementary Spectacles after 10 locum shifts completed annually.
