Big recruitment drive announced by The Outside Clinic

The Outside Clinic has announced plans to fill 35 new vacancies in 2018 in an effort to meet the growing demands for more optometrists.

Opportunities for either a four or five days a week position exist across the country, with the company willing to pay generous location allowances for anyone who is based or wants to move to one of the hard-to-fill areas, including Cornwall, Devon, Kent, Dorset, Norfolk and Suffolk.

At the end of 2017, Specsavers launched a similar ‘earn-and-learn’ scheme to attract optometrists to areas of the country with a shortage of optometrists.

As part of the recruitment drive, The Outside Clinic is offering ‘Taster Experiences’ to any qualified optician who wants a career change.
