Whether you're leading a clinic, responding to triage, or mentoring others, no two days are the same, and your growth never stops.
Key responsibilities
  • Leading clinics and delivering outstanding patient care
  • Using the latest testing technology to assess eye health and provide expert advice

  • NHS performer number (or working towards it)
  • Excellent communication and organisation skills
  • A genuine interest in patient care and team collaboration

It would be great if you also have
  • Experience supporting enhanced services
  • A strong understanding of local clinical networks

Where your brilliance can take you
At Boots Opticians, your clinical career can go in many directions – from delivering enhanced services and supporting pre-reg development, to regional clinical leadership or professional training roles, or even owning your own Boots Opticians store through our Franchise Academy. Whatever path you choose, we’ll help you get there.

  • Boots Retirement Savings Plan (up to 12% company contribution)
  • Reimbursement of GOC and professional indemnity fees
