Specsavers in Chatham are looking for a forward-thinking Optometrist to join them on a full or part time basis. The focus at this store is about pulling together and working as a team to ensure that our valued patients have an excellent experience.

You will be joining a well-established store with a fully trained team including Optical Assistants, Dispensing Opticians, Contact Lens Opticians as well as an audiology team meaning everyone is in place to let you focus on what you do best.

The directors in Chatham are very keen advocators of clinical skills and are heavily involved in local NHS schemes including MECS, MECS 2, Repeat IOP, Post-Op Cataract Assessments, Hydroxychloroquine screening, DVLA clinics and soon to be ARMD monitoring in conjunction with Maidstone Eye Hospital. They believe Optometrists development and career progression is key and will encourage the involvement of enhanced optical services, pre-reg supervision, role of Senior Optometrist and post graduate clinical qualifications.

Chatham has 3 sister stores Gillingham, Hempstead Valley and Strood. All stores are owned by the same group of 4 directors who have a huge wealth of experience and would be able to offer incredible professional and clinical support and development.

Collectively, they have developed 5 members of the team who are now directors of their own stores, they are currently supporting 3 Optometrists to complete their IP courses and most of the Optometrist team across the stores have completed at least one post graduate course such as Medical Retina or Glaucoma. Could you be the next?
