At Asda, nothing is more important to us than the health and wellbeing of our customers and we pride ourselves on providing excellent service and clinical care. Our Optical Managers are key to our success, making sure the team has everything in place that they need to deliver for our patients and business.
Our unique fixed price approach means dispensing is simple for our patients and colleagues. Single vision glasses are the same price as varifocals, and there are no top-up costs for anti-scratch or thinner lenses either, so we don't have to compromise a patient eyecare solution because of what someone can afford.

You'll be responsible for overseeing and managing the Optical Department. With tasks including managing your team of Optometrists and Optical assistants, overseeing compliance processes and procedures, reviewing sales forecasting and department targets whilst also dealing with customer queries, every day is busy and fast paced in an Asda Opticians.
You will also be responsible for clinic management and managing the shop floor process to ensure the department is well equipped for customer's needs.
Working in close partnership with an Optometrist you will also coach and develop your team so being confident in coaching others will be key to this role. Due to the fast-paced nature of this role and the different responsibilities you will need to be organised and able to manage your time effectively.

I recruit for Optical and Pharmacy.
A bit about me and my role...
I've been with Asda since 2024, and recruit for all salaried Healthcare positions within our Optical and Pharmacy businesses.
A fun fact about me...
I'm a long-suffering, avid Nottingham Forest fan, having been to home and away matches since the age of 4. Beware of chatting to me on a Monday if we lost at the weekend!
My favourite Asda product is...
The fresh pizza counter, it never fails!
