Your Role

At Asda Opticians, we're all about giving our customers the very best clinical care, great customer service and great value. As we continue to extend the range of eye care services we offer, the importance of a smooth operation has never been more important, and, as Optometrist Manager, you'll use your blend of clinical and commercial expertise to ensure we exceed our customer expectations.

Our unique fixed price approach means there's no up-selling at Asda. Single vision glasses are the same price as varifocals here, and there are no top-up costs for anti-scratch or thinner lenses either, so we don't have to compromise a customer solution because of what someone can afford.

In this role, you'll make sure your team have the time, skills and focus to always find the right solution for the customer at a time that suits them. It's also a role that is a great step up if you're looking for more scope and responsibility. Managing a 7 day operation, you'll drive the highest standards while generating plenty of team spirit and Asda ‘can-do'.
