The store opened in 2006 and consists of 3 test rooms, all fully equipped with the newest clinical technology including Nidek Retina DUO II OCT, Nidek and Frost Phoropters in all rooms and Nidek Tonoref III to name a few.

    Our directors in Gillingham are very keen advocators of clinical skills and are heavily involved in local NHS schemes including MECS, Repeat IOP and Post-Op Cataract Assessments. For Optometrists they believe 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.

    Gillingham has 3 sister stores – Chatham, Strood and Hempstead Valley. 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 their 4 stores have completed at least one post graduate course such as Medical Retina or Glaucoma. Could you be the next?

    What we're looking for

    Alongside being a qualified and GOC registered Optometrist, we are searching for someone who shares our store's ethos. Someone who wants to grow, develop and offer exceptional customer care along the way. We want a practitioner who prides themselves on their clinical judgment, that isn't afraid of a hands-on approach and who is keen to get involved and build rapport with the rest of the team. In summary, we're looking for a skilled resident Optometrist to join us, be part of the team and assist in driving our practice forward.

    Our store is an accredited Platinum Employer – this means you can expect an exceptional employee experience every single day you work here. The Platinum Employer Scheme is part of the Specsavers drive to become a famous place to work. Stores with this accreditation have been verified on five key employer standards: Recruitment, Performance Management and Reward, Talent Management, Learning and Development and Employee Engagement.
