About the role
The future is uncertain - unless you’re with a company that’s always investing in it. That’s because at Vision Express, when it comes to sight, we take it seriously. We’re confident in our capabilities, thanks to our unmatched technology, countless opportunities for growth and the backing of EssilorLuxottica, a global leader in the eyecare industry. Become one of our pre-registration optometrists and your career can only benefit.
We are proud to offer Pre-registration Optometrist Placement in partnership with the College of Optometrists. Our structured placement program provides students with invaluable, practical real-world experience, in a supportive retail environment.
Why Choose Vision Express?
We’re part of EssilorLuxottica, a global leader in cutting-edge eye care and premium eyewear, with an extensive portfolio of brands such as Oakley and Ray-Ban. You’ll be backed by a business passionate about quality, innovation, and excellence, giving you confidence in offering your customers the widest range of products.
You'll work with world-class technology that keeps you at the forefront of optometry. This includes OCT, visual field analysers, automated refraction, fundus cameras, non-contact tonometry, automated keratometry, and automated phoropters among much else.
Being part of both Vision Express and EssilorLuxottica means diverse career paths, excellent training programmes and impressive development opportunities. We’re proud of the clinical training we offer. Right now, we have colleagues across the business studying everything from IP and Medical Retina to glaucoma and myopia. You might want to become an Optometrist Store Manager, a Dispensing Optician or support the next generation of Pre-Registration students by becoming a Pre-Reg Supervisor or Pre-Reg Development Tutor. Every step you take comes with fascinating challenges and great rewards.
Life outside the test room is very important to us.
