The store was established in 1995 and is extremely community focused with lots of loyal customers.

The store has 5 test rooms all fully equipped with the latest clinical equipment and technology including OCT and Nidek Phoropters allowing you to focus on what you do best. Hove offers a truly positive working environment where the Directors are present and consistently driving the business as well as investing in their teams to allow you to progress your career in the way you want.

This role will bring you to the welcoming seaside resort in East Sussex and alongside Brighton, it is one of the two main parts of the city. With a great mix of high street brands next to quirky boutiques, there’s a host of surprises waiting for you in the west of the city including numerous trendy bars, traditional pubs, and amazing restaurants, you’ll be spoilt for choice. The store itself is conveniently located with excellent public transport links; Hove Train Station is a 5-minute walk from the store.

Our Optometrists are an integral part of our store management team, so we’re keen to get you up to speed outside the test room too. With ILM courses, Pre-Reg supervision and the Specsavers Partnership scheme (Pathway) all available to explore. Along with your clinical expertise – this will stand you in good stead if you choose to become a store director yourself one day.

Platinum employer
Our store is an accredited Platinum Employer – this means you can expect an exceptional employee experience every single day you work here. The Platinum Employer Scheme is part of the Specsavers drive to become a famous place to work. Stores with this accreditation have been verified on five key employer standards: Recruitment, Performance Management and Reward, Talent Management, Learning and Development and Employee Engagement.

What we’re looking for
Alongside being a qualified and GOC registered Optometrist, we are searching for someone who shares our store’s ethos. Someone who wants to grow, develop and offer exceptional customer care along the way. We want a practitioner who prides themselves on their clinical judgment, that isn’t afraid of a hands-on approach and who is keen to get involved and build rapport with the rest of the team. In summary, we’re looking for a skilled resident Optometrist to join us, be part of the team and assist in driving our practice forward.
