At Specsavers, we’ve been transforming eye health and careers worldwide for over 35 years. We are the world’s largest, privately-owned optical retailer serving 41 million customers in over 2,500 businesses in 11 countries. But we’re not just about impressive numbers, we’re about industry-leading quality. Founded and led by two optometrists, you will get a commitment to advanced equipment, product excellence, unrivalled training, and global clinical leadership – all tailored to you and the needs of your patients and customers.
Like you, we know the value and expertise a licensed optician brings to eye care. As eye health is our top priority, we’ve made OCT scans a standard part of pre-testing. Not only that, we’re putting customers first by offering top-quality products and prioritizing a quick turnaround time to get our glasses in the hands of our customers as quickly as possible. As we grow to open 200 stores across Canada, we recognize the importance of having licensed opticians on the floor at each of our stores at all times – that’s why we need you.
We are seeking a Registered Optician at our Dorval Crossing West, Oakville, ON location. You chose a career in dispensing for a reason - to make a difference by ensuring that every customer leaves your store with an eyecare regime that really meets their needs.
We’re with you. We wouldn’t be where we are without our dedicated dispensing teams to interpret prescriptions, advise customers on the most suitable options, and fit their new glasses beautifully. We’re here to elevate your role as an optician by providing you with the tools and support you need so you can do what you love most – providing quality eyecare and eye wear to customers.
Product Excellence: We use the latest clinical technology, rigorous testing, and extensive quality assurance processes to develop our lenses so that you can support your customers and patients with a full range of top-quality products that you’re proud to offer
Clinical Excellence: We rely on your clinical expertise to ensure we deliver clinical excellence – that’s why we’re putting contact lens practitioners at the heart of contact lens dispensing. You’ll have also access to leading equipment, such as OCT for all patients, to ensure that all patients get the best accessible, quality eyecare.
Support: Opticians are supported and empowered by Specsavers, to practice within their full scope of their qualification, while being encouraged to further their career growth
Professional Development: As experts versed in optics, opticians will provide mentorship to student opticians and the retail team, to assist with the development of our people and to continuously deliver high standards of services.
What are the benefits of joining Specsavers as an optician?
Be part of a company that values opticians as a key piece of our business. Our vision is to elevate the role of opticians by putting opticianry at the heart of our business, along optometry.
A commitment to continued investment in your professional development: we offer an annual stipend towards attendance of industry events, development training programs, and support for your completion of the Continuing Competence Program / Quality Assurance Program.
At select locations, we offer 100% coverage of your OAC membership and licensing renewal fees.
An opportunity to set a benchmark for patient care and grow your store by earning patient trust, long-term care, and referrals.
Extended health benefit and employee assistance program, which provides access to services including counselling, family/elder care support, financial assistance, legal services, health coaching, nutritional guidance, stress management, and leadership tools.
3 weeks’ vacation, 6 sick days (PT and FT), one paid volunteer day per year, and birthdays off.
