This flagship store in Nottingham City Centre is one of our standout locations — a sleek, modern space showcasing the very latest in optical technology and delivering an exceptional standard of clinical and retail care. It’s a high‑performing, fast‑paced environment powered by a large, experienced and well‑established, full clinical team comprising of contact lens opticians, dispensing opticians, optical assistants and optometrists who all thrive on delivering excellence at scale.

This is your chance to champion a culture of excellence, inspire a high‑performing team, and deliver unforgettable service to every patient and customer who walks through our doors.


In this vibrant, fast‑paced environment, you’ll collaborate with a diverse team of clinical and retail experts, all working together to bring our products, services, and brand to life while upholding the highest standards of patient care and compliance.

  • Lead from the front, supporting customers with frame styling, clinical pre‑testing, dispensing and tailored product recommendations.
  • Use your commercial insight and understanding of the local community to shape store strategy, build external relationships, and optimise both patient care and profitability.
  • Collaborate with your Regional Manager, regional colleagues and Support Office to influence change and drive business performance.
  • Develop your clinical knowledge through our industry‑leading Step into Optics training programme and hands‑on in‑store experience.

What you’ll need to have (our must‑haves)
  • Experience leading a large team within a retail setting (Optical experience not essential)

It would be great if you also have
  • Experience working within a clinical or optical environment.
  • Experience leading a team in a customer‑facing setting.
