Optometry Partner - Scarborough

About the store

Specsavers in Scarborough sits in a prominent position on Westborough, a semi pedestrianised shopping high street. Scarborough is a popular shopping destination with over 250 stores in the town centre including high street brands such as Next and Marks and Spencer as well as independent and speciality stores. There’s an indoor shopping centre and Market Hall nearby, a recently redeveloped 3 floor market building.

The store currently has 3 sight test rooms and is just in the process of introducing a dedicated tele-optometry room. There are another 2 test rooms available, which can be equipped as required.

The current team is made up of 26, including 1 Optom and 1 DO who are also the remaining partners in the store. With an existing Optom and Retail Partner already in situ, this is a great opportunity for someone to join a strong leadership team whilst focussing on delivering continued growth.

Store location

The store is located in the heart of the beautiful seaside town of Scarborough where there’s plenty for everyone. Boasting two long sandy beaches less than 10 minutes’ walk from the store, amusement arcades, restaurants and bars and a pretty fishing harbour. A visit to the Sea life centre and a hike to Scarborough castle ruins which overlooks the town are musts when visiting the coast.

There are excellent transport links; a railway station 10 minutes’ walk from the store where a train will take you to York in about an hour and London in roughly 3 hours.

Requirements of the role

The new Optom Partner will have a strong clinical presence in store, whilst continuing to identify areas of potential growth and encouraging the team to develop. You will possess a strong worth ethic and a willingness to succeed. You’ll be passionate about your job and enjoy a fast-paced environment whilst leading and inspiring your teams to be the best that they can be.

Joint venture partnership is the secret to our success here at Specsavers, with every store locally owned and led by its directors. Owning, leading and growing your very own business is considered by many to be the pinnacle of your career as a clinician or retailer – this is your chance to become the leader you were born to be.
