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 £75,000 (subject to your experience and location)

Location: Lincoln, Waterside Shopping Centre

Working hours: Part time 7.75 hours per week (Saturday)

Our Lincoln store has 2 test rooms, which are fully equipped with up to date equipment and technology, supported by a well-established team. Set within the Waterside shopping centre, it's easily accessible by both car and public transport, within parking nearby.

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
