We’re a community-focused store dedicated to ensuring that every one of our customers receives an excellent patient experience. We’re seeking an Optometrist ready to use their passion and knowledge to help us build on our ever-growing and loyal customer base. Join us at Specsavers in Gosport where we deliver the very best in customer care.

People choose us - for care and careers. Because feeling supported and valued makes a difference. We were proud to be ranked 16th best place to work in the world in 2024 by Great Place to Work, a reflection of the supportive, people-first culture we’ve built.

We’re locally owned by people who understand our communities, powered by leading-edge technology, and committed to making eye care accessible and affordable for everyone. When you join us, you’re choosing more than a job - you’re choosing a place where you can thrive.

The store

We’re fully equipped with 4 test rooms, the latest clinical technology (including OCT), and a team of 14 – which includes fully trained optical assistants, so everything is in place to let you focus on what you do best.

The location

With its 24 miles of waterfront, safe panoramic beaches, impressive naval heritage and scenic countryside walks, Gosport is a great place to live and work. Gosport can be access from the M27 at Junction 11. Regular mainline train services run to Portsmouth Harbour and bus services run from Fareham every 10 minutes and from Stubbington, every 17 minutes.

What’s on Offer?

• Up to £75,000 per annum depending on experience
• Full time or part time with weekend flexibility
• No late nights
• 33 days annual leave
• Private medical and dental cover
• Professional fees paid
• Pension contribution
• Support with CPD points
• Outstanding clinical and professional development opportunities

Our Optometrists are an integral part of our store management team, so we’re keen to get you up to speed outside the test room too. With ILM courses, Pre-Reg supervision and the Specsavers Partnership scheme (Pathway) all available to explore. Along with your clinical expertise – this will stand you in good stead if you choose to become a store director yourself one day.

What we’re looking for

Alongside being a qualified and GOC registered Optometrist, the right person for this position will be confident, possess a strong worth ethic and a willingness to succeed. You’ll be passionate about your job and enjoy a fast-paced environment. We are looking for an Optometrist who will go the extra mile for our customers and someone who encourages their colleagues to do the same.
