Partner in Development

Optical Retailing

London / Home Counties

Permanent ⁄ £33000 - £36000

Updated February 4, 2012


• Are you willing to back yourself?
• Are you ready to take on a unique opportunity within retail?

As a Partner in Development with Specsavers you will initially undergo a training programme which will enable you to take responsibility of a practice and enjoy high levels of autonomy. Working with retail colleagues as well as optical professionals, your influencing and commercialism will be put to the test. Upon the successful conclusion of this training period, the next step is to be given the opportunity to acquire a share in your own store as a "Partner" and will therefore be empowered to run your own business.
Are you ready to take the challenge and leave the mainstream retail monotony to run your own business?

Who we're looking for
You will have enthusiasm and determination to grow your career with a well established, Blue-Chip Business in a Store Management position.
You will be experienced in:
• People Management
• P&L accountability
• Quality Customer Service

You will have successful track record in the businesses you have managed.
Optical experience is not important but preference will be given to those who have had management experience in Blue-Chip Retailers. Personality is everything!

You will ultimately be required to invest in to your own store when the training period is successfully completed. The minimum investment is expected to be in the region of £30,000 for a new start up store, but may be significantly more if you go on to buy in to an existing Specsavers business."

Without a doubt, our Client is the Market Leader. They are innovative, corporate and professional with a reputation for service. To their Customer base, they are a brand that inspires loyalty. For their employees, their culture is inspirational.

Specsavers currently operate over 1500 hearing and optical stores worldwide; across the the UK, Northern and Western Europe and Australasia.

What's on offer
£33,000 - £36,000 (Longer term OTE exceptional)
