About the Role
Specsavers is a household name and a high street staple, and you could be part of the team.
We are looking for a proactive people person who is ready to be the friendly face our stores need. If you have previous optical experience as an Optical Advisor or Dispensing Assistant, this Optical Assistant role could be perfect for you. However, full training and support can be offered for the right candidate if you don't have previous optical experience. We are seeking someone who is keen to have a career within optics, is a people person, and can offer the best customer service every time.
As an Optical Assistant, you’ll use your passion for the Specsavers brand, products, and services, alongside your incredible customer service skills, to create an outstanding store environment for both our customers and our team.
Our Store
Based at 33-35 Market Square, Stonehaven, AB39 2BA, we are located on the coast, offering the opportunity for a walk along the beach on your lunch break. The store is easily accessible by bus or train, and parking is available nearby.
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.
