Assistant Store Manager - Hoddesdon
Are you motivated with an eye for detail and looking to bring your skills to a global, difference-making company? You’ve come to the right place.
As long as you're ready to lead by example, be hands-on, and champion a customer-first mindset, you can make a difference as an Assistant Store Manager at Specsavers. Working alongside the Store Manager, you'll help keep the store and team running like clockwork. We'll fully support you to develop your skills within optics. You'll play a key role in bringing better hearing and eye care to your community while supporting others to do the same. In short, this is an opportunity you won't want to miss.
We are keen to speak with candidates who have current or previous experience within optics, although this isn't essential to be considered for this role. We are looking for someone who has experience in leading a team in a fast-paced retail environment, is commercially aware, and has a positive attitude.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
