At Asda, we are passionate and committed to providing our Optometrists with all the training they will need to fulfil their role and enhance their skills. We have a fantastic CPD programme and offer protected time to our Optometrists to complete further accreditations, funded by Asda. This ensures you have the full training package to meet the ever-changing eye care needs of our customers.
With in-store, regional, and home office teams, you will be fully supported in all aspects of your role whether your query is clinical or service-based.
