Specsavers

“Lots of the team have got their best friends working alongside them.” Since joining the Specsavers Gwent Home Visits team, Amy’s day looks completely different. With shared time out on the road and plenty of fun team moments, she’s discovered a whole new side to supporting customers in their own homes. And Home Visits isn’t just for clinicians - our teams include brilliant optical assistant and scheduling colleagues too.

Since the homelessness programme began in 2022, Specsavers In-store and Home Visits teams have supported more than 6,000 people affected by homelessness with free eye and ear care.   As Joni says, it’s work that gives colleagues a strong sense of purpose and one of the most rewarding parts of their role.   Find a role with us where you can see the difference you make in the lives of others every day: https://lnkd.in/e-3rGdY2

“What are you 100% taking away from today?”   From greener ways of working to new tech on show, people across 100% Optical had plenty to share! Neil Retallic heard from colleagues who were picking up fresh CPD, catching up with the Vision Care charity team, meeting LinkedIn connections in person, and seeing how AI is already starting to support patient care.   Catch the highlights below 👇

This World Glaucoma Week, we’re shining a light on the optometrists who support patients with glaucoma every day. Across England, many people still face a postcode lottery when accessing care. Community optometrists are already helping people get faster support, easing pressure on hospitals and preventing avoidable sight loss — but a consistent national approach is urgently needed. That’s why we’re backing new legislation that would unlock better, fairer access for patients everywhere. 👉 Read more on Spectrum: https://bit.ly/4rtJdFt #WorldGlaucomaWeek #Glaucoma #EyeHealth

I’ll be taking on the London Landmarks Half Marathon in April and I’m running in support of Crisis, a charity doing vital work to help people experiencing homelessness build a more secure future. Specsavers has an incredible partnership with Crisis, and in our work we see first-hand the impact it has in making eye care and hearing care more accessible. That’s all powered by our amazing volunteers who help run clinics throughout the year. And Joni Nettleship bringing it all together, of course. 👏 If you’re able to chip in and support my fundraising, it would mean a lot. Every donation helps Crisis continue their brilliant work to end homelessness.
