Specsavers is built on community spirit, genuine care, and the belief that everyone deserves access to better sight and hearing. We’re looking for a confident, outgoing Community Champion to represent our Headford Road store, Galway — someone who thrives on meeting people, building relationships, and bringing our values to life across both communities.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Building strong connections with local groups, schools, charities, and organisations.
- Planning and delivering community events, health awareness activities, and outreach programmes.
- Acting as a warm, proactive ambassador for both stores — someone who enjoys starting conversations and opening doors.
- Identifying opportunities to raise awareness of eye and hearing health and turning those opportunities into meaningful action.
- Creating engaging stories and updates for social media and local press to highlight your community impact.
- Supporting the instore teams by bringing in new partnerships and engagement opportunities.
- Splitting your time between infield community visits and remote homebased planning, follow-up, and communication.
- Travel in Galway as part of your weekly routine.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We’re Looking For
- A natural communicator who's confident approaching new people and building rapport quickly.
- Someone who enjoys being out in the community and is equally comfortable working independently from home.
- A self-starter who’s motivated, persistent, and comfortable taking the lead on outreach activities.
- Strong communication skills — both face-to-face and over the phone — with the ability to adapt your style to different audiences.
- Resilience, enthusiasm, and the drive to keep going even when plans change or challenges pop up.
- Solid organisational skills to manage multiple projects across two locations.
- A full driving licence.
