Specsavers in Caterham are looking for an Optometrist to join them on a full or part time basis. Whether you’re newly qualified or have years of experience, they are looking for someone who is passionate about their career and providing exceptional patient care.
You will be joining one of our top performing stores in the region and working alongside an experienced team of 18, some who have worked in the store for 15+ years! Within the team there are fully trained Optical Assistants, Dispensing Opticians as well as multiple experienced Optometrists and a pre-registration Optometrist.
Caterham opened in 2006 and in February this year they went through a full refurbishment meaning you will be working in a fresh, modern and new environment. The store has 4 short-form test rooms, and all are fully equipped with the latest clinical technology and equipment.
Our store directors are passionate about the clinical and/ or professional development of their team – they will encourage, support and fully fund you through Professional Certificates or if you would like to own your own store one day they are on hand to support with this too.
The store is conveniently located in Church Walk Shopping Centre, which is a prime shopping area in Caterham, an affluent commuter town just 8 miles south of Croydon and just inside the M25. There is free parking and if travelling by train the station is a 1-minute walk from the store with great lines into Victoria and London Bridge.

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.
