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.

We are currently looking for individuals who are enthusiastic about providing great customer service and would like to pursue a career in retail, management or optics. 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.

Who is this Apprenticeship for?

Individuals with GSCE Maths at Grade 9-4 (A*-C) or above, or an equivalent level qualification
Individuals who have lived in the EU for 3 years or more, with the right to work in the UK

What does the role involve?

Welcoming customers into store
Booking in eye tests
Pre-screening patients
Providing style advice
Measuring frames
Taking phone calls

What will you gain?

Your on-the-job training will sit alongside structured learning that will lead to a nationally recognised qualification. At the end of your apprenticeship, you’ll be a fully-fledged Level 3 Optical Assistant. Over the course of 15-18 months with us, you’ll:

Earn a salary – paid monthly
Gain valuable work experience in a full-time role
Receive comprehensive and structured training, supported by a qualified assessor
Deliver high-quality products and services in an innovative retail environment
Become part of a team working towards a common goal
Be entitled to paid holidays

On top of everything we have to offer our apprentices, we’re just as happy to learn from you too! In this role, a head full of ideas will certainly come in handy and could make a real difference to how we do things right across the business. With us, you’ll always have the opportunity to make a difference. Even though we’re a relatively large company, the entrepreneurial spirit that got us off the ground is still at the heart of everything we do.
