Optometrists – focused on care, not targets

At Scrivens, our Optometrists enjoy true clinical freedom, allowing them to deliver comprehensive and personalised eye care.

You’ll work in modern branches that feature integrated systems and advanced diagnostic tools, supported by experienced branch teams who are there to help you focus on what matters most – your patients.

As an Optometrist with us, you’ll conduct detailed eye examinations using the latest technology. You’ll build trusted, long-term relationships with patients and work with leading lens and contact lens suppliers to offer tailored solutions.

We believe in giving our professionals the time they need with patients, without the pressure of hard sales targets.

For added variety and flexibility, you can choose to work in single or multi-branch settings. Your input will be valued in shaping the future of our clinical services.

Whether you’re newly qualified or bringing years of experience, you’ll be supported and valued from day one.

Pre-Registration Optometrists – providing confidence and support
