At Specsavers, we’re always looking to the future. Which is where people like you come in. Our apprenticeship scheme gives you the chance to really set yourself up for a great career in a fantastic company, and earn a full-time wage at the same time.

  • Earn a salary - paid monthly
  • Structured career opportunities for the future
  • Get experience of full time work...and enjoy paid holidays!

  • Receive comprehensive and structured training
  • Learn transferable as well as job-specific skills

Day-to-day, you’ll help us out by producing customer orders from scratch, interpreting optical prescriptions and drawings, correcting faults and re-assembling of glasses, carrying out testing and adjustments, prepare and maintain materials and equipment. You’ll also make sure 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).
