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. We already have a wealth of experience within the Neath store; our director, Nigel, has been servicing our faithful customers for over 30 years.

We’re fully equipped with 5 test rooms and the latest clinical technology (including OCT), so everything is in place to let you focus on what you do best. Our primary focus is to deliver excellent clinical care and exceptional customer service. Our loyal patients have been coming to us for years and we know how to make every visit a positive experience. We don’t dictate our test times, our patients do. If they need 30 minutes, that’s what they get.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll need to be a qualified and GOC registered Optometrist with the drive, passion, and the willingness to build upon our customer-focused culture. As part of our team, you’ll need to be able to provide a unique blend of customer care and professional excellence. You’ll need to demonstrate good attention to detail along with a passion for the community. Teamwork also forms a big part of our culture, so the ability to work well with others is essential.
