Leeds Specsavers announces recruitment drive

Specsavers Wetherby has revealed it is recruiting for over half a dozen positions at all levels of the business.

The new vacancies follow a rise in demand for eye and hearing care across the area, after successive lockdowns.

Following the easing of restrictions earlier in the year, and with large numbers of customers postponing tests during the pandemic, the store is expanding its headcount to accommodate for the increased demand.

As well as clinical vacancies for registered optometrists and audiologists, the business is also recruiting for non-clinical vacancies – across retail, store management and apprenticeship roles. No prior experience is required.

Geoff Harper, said: “We’ve experienced a real bounce back in trade across the region, so we’re really pleased to be in a position to create these new roles.

“We would love people to consider a career with us, even if it means doing something completely different to what they are used to, as we have such a broad spectrum of roles available and provide training at all levels.”

“As well as those with many years of clinical experience under their belt, we’re really keen to be talking to people from all backgrounds and ages, so if they would be of interest to you or someone you know, please do get in touch.

He concluded: “At Specsavers, we always strive to put the customer at the heart of everything that we do. Expanding our team will help us continue to do this. We know a lot of people have missed their eye tests over the past few years, so we would advise to book in to see us as soon as possible.”

The store will be holding a recruitment/assessment day on Thursday 16th December for those interested in the roles, running from 6pm-8pm.
