We’ve got the vision if you’ve got the drive!
Become a qualified Optical Technician in just 15-18 months – and get paid while you’re at it. This role is based in the Lab in store and not on the shop floor.
At Specsavers, we’re always looking to the future. Our apprenticeship scheme gives you the chance to really set yourself up for a great career in a fantastic company, and earn a full-time wage at the same time.
You’ll spend 15-18 months in a paid job while learning your trade surrounded by our friendly, passionate and highly experienced team who’ll support you every step of the way.
1. Earn a salary – paid monthly
2. Structured career opportunities for the future
3. Get experience of full-time work…and enjoy paid holidays!
4. Work for a friendly employer who values you
5. Receive comprehensive and structured training
6. Learn transferable as well as job-specific skills
Day-to-day, you’ll help us out by producing customer orders from scratch, interpreting optical prescriptions and drawings, correcting faults and re-assembling glasses, carrying out testing and adjustments, preparing and maintaining materials and equipment. You’ll also ensure that you are producing the highest quality assured product.
Your on-the-job training will sit alongside structured learning and at the end of the 15-18 months as an apprentice, you’ll be a fully-fledged Level 3 Optical Technician.
You’ll need a grade 9-4 (A*-C) GCSEs in Maths (or equivalent/predicted result). It’s not essential to have worked in the Optical sector; this is a new adventure, but you will need the organization, commitment, motivation, and enthusiasm to deliver the great product our Specsavers visitors love. Who knows, you might even end up running your own store in years to come…
Before applying, please check that you are able to travel to the store location on a daily basis. This vacancy will close once we have filled all available places. We therefore highly recommend early applications.
