Job Description

Are you ready to take your skills on the road? As a Home Visits Optical Assistant at Specsavers, you can do just that.

If you love your job but are a bit bored, if you love working with patients but want a new challenge, then this role might be for you.

You’ll be driving our services to the doorsteps of the nation, providing eye care to the people who are unable to come into our stores. Not only do you help them with their sight, you’ll also be bringing smiles and clinical care to the heart of your community. 

The job is varied: you’ll work in a range of locations and testing environments every day – no two days are the same. Our region covers Central Birmingham, West Bromwich, Dudley, Sandwell, Kidderminster and Bromsgrove, but our ever-expanding team is scattered across the region so we will always aim to keep you as close to home as possible. Our preferred candidate will be based in central or south Birmingham.

With more 1-on-1 time spent with patients in the place where they feel comfortable, you can really cater to their needs and make a real difference in their lives.
