Ready to take your skills on the road? As a home visits optical assistant at Specsavers, you can do just that.

If you love your job but are a bit bored, if you love working with patients but want a new challenge, then this role might be for you.

You’ll be driving our services to the doorsteps of the nation, providing eye care to the people who are unable to come into our stores. Not only do you help them with their sight, you’ll also be bringing smiles and clinical care to the heart of your community.

The job is varied: you’ll work in a range of locations and testing environments every day – no two days are the same. Our region stretches from Romford across to Colchester and from Bishop's Stortford down to Southend-on-Sea, but our ever-expanding team is scattered across the region so we will always aim to keep you as close to home as possible.

With more 1-on-1 time spent with patients in the place where they feel comfortable, you can really cater to their needs and make them feel as important as we know they really are.

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.
