Job description

At Vision Express, we give optometrists the equipment, time, and support to step out with confidence. Backed by the strength of EssilorLuxottica, your career is supported with unparalleled stability, development opportunities, and a clear path to grow.

The role

Salary: Up to £70,000 (subject to your experience and location)

Location: Bromley

Working hours: Full time (weekend flexibility needed)

Our Bromley store has 5 test rooms, which are fully equipped with OCT and Auto Phoropter. This newly re‑fitted store currently supports a Store Manager, 3 resident Optometrists, and a team of Optical Assistants.

What you'll get

• 33 days’ annual leave: Your time outside the test room matters. That’s why your annual leave grows with you, rising to 38 days inc. bank holidays.
• Sales and performance‑based bonus: Our bonus scheme rewards your performance, with an on‑target bonus of up to £5,040 and the potential for higher rewards when your store achieves beyond expectations.
• Private medical cover for you and your family: We go the extra mile when it comes to your health. With private medical cover, not just for you, but for your family too.
• Life assurance: With life assurance worth four times your salary, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your loved ones are protected, whatever happens.
• Overtime opportunities: Exclusive to Vision Express, the TG Pool is our network that gives optometrists flexibility to pick up shifts paid at 80% of the locum rate.
• Share options: When you grow, we grow – and success should be shared. Our colleagues can purchase shares in EssilorLuxottica with additional free shares gifted by us.
• A pension that plans for your future: Our competitive pension scheme helps you build a secure future, so you can focus on what matters most today.

If this sounds like the role for you, we'd love to hear about your ideal working week. Whether that's alternate days or a compressed week, we are open to discussing flexible options.

Who we're looking for

You’ll be a great fit for this role if you:

• Are a qualified, GOC registered optometrist
• Use your clinical expertise to deliver a clear diagnosis that builds patient confidence
• Enjoy being part of a team – sharing ideas, supporting colleagues, and working together
• Contribute to the commercial success of the store – focusing on performance, growth, and delivering an outstanding customer experience
• Bring confidence, passion, and genuine enthusiasm for making a difference to people’s lives
