Optical Assistant Apprentice

Job description

Are you a caring individual looking to start your career in an Optics environment? You've come to the right place.

As well as being passionate and motivated in everything you do, it's important that you're also a great listener and communicator - as that's what excellent service is all about. In addition to having great communication skills, you'll also be a team player and have a real passion for making a difference, both in your development and within the business.

Our Apprenticeship scheme gives people of all ages the chance to boost their existing skillset and kickstart an exciting new career as part of a forward-thinking business, all whilst earning a full-time wage.

Our store

This role offers the opportunity to work across our Specsavers stores in Kidderminster Coventry Street, Kidderminster Sainsbury's and Stourport, giving you exposure to a variety of customers, colleagues and working environments. Each store is supported by friendly, experienced teams who are passionate about delivering outstanding customer care and helping people find the right eye and hearing care solutions. Working across multiple locations provides great variety in your day-to-day role, the chance to develop your skills and knowledge, and the opportunity to build strong relationships with both customers and colleagues across the local Specsavers network. You'll be part of a supportive team culture where collaboration, development and excellent service are at the heart of everything we do.

What's on offer?

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.
You'll not only spend 15-18 months in a paid job, but also learn your trade while surrounded by our friendly, passionate and highly experienced team who'll support you every step of the way.
