We currently have 6 test rooms (soon to be 8 with our expansion), all with the latest clinical technology, including OCT and Nidek Phoropters. Our excellent team of 35 highly trained optical professionals, including Optometrists, Dispensing Opticians, and trained Optical Assistants, take pride in providing an exceptional patient experience.

We are passionate about the clinical & professional development of our team, and as our new Optometrist, we want to support you every step of the way. Through open conversations and regular 1-2-1’s, we will work together to tailor-make a career that suits you. There are so many areas to explore; from WOPEC qualifications and independent prescribing to paediatric accreditations or enhanced optical services, ILM courses, Pre-Reg supervision, and the Specsavers Partnership scheme (Pathway). Along with your clinical expertise – this will stand you in good stead if you choose to become a store director yourself one day.
