Something for everyone

Optometry is extremely important to us. We intend to become leaders in eye care and our recent merger with Dollond and Aitchison has been a huge, exciting leap forward. We’re now the second largest optical chain in the UK with around 685 optical practices, of which around 205 operate on a franchised basis*. That’s excellent news for existing employees and those who wish to join us – not to mention for our customers, who can now take advantage of our whole care approach in greater numbers than ever. We’re about so much more than just sight tests and sales, and our ever-growing reputation is proof that our approach works. We’ve plenty of ideas for innovation too: for example, through increased engagement of professionals as managers, we are putting professionals at the heart of our business. We’re also increasing the work we do with GPs to create a first point of contact for referral. If it’s progression you’re looking for, you’ve found it at Boots Opticians.

Our success is primarily because of our people, so it’s no wonder we invest so heavily in developing them. We’ve made a name for ourselves as one of the best providers of professional training – the huge number of students wanting to join us on graduation is testament to this – and we offer a benefits package that is both flexible and competitive. You’ll find Boots Opticians a great place to work, as our recent inclusion in the Sunday Times Top 100 employers confirms, and you’ll be supported to grow as we do. Who knows – one day you may end up owning your own Boots Opticians franchise.
