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, while earning a full-time wage.
You’ll spend 15-18 months in a paid job, learning your trade surrounded by our friendly, passionate, and highly experienced team who’ll support you every step of the way.

* Get experience of full-time work…and enjoy paid holidays!
* Work for a friendly employer who values you
* Receive comprehensive and structured training

Day-to-day, you’ll produce customer orders from scratch, interpret optical prescriptions and drawings, correct faults and re-assemble glasses, carry out testing and adjustments, and prepare and maintain materials and equipment. You’ll 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. However, you will need the organisation, commitment, motivation, and enthusiasm to deliver the great product our Specsavers visitors love.
