Our people ambition is to be the place we are all proud to belong. We want all our colleagues to feel listened to, included, valued, and motivated. To help start us on this journey networks and communities are being established by our colleagues across Specsavers so far, we have PRISM which represents our LGBTQ+ community, MenoTalk to help support and drive our menopause in the workplace agenda, Empowered Together, our women’s network that is in place to rally for women’s equality in and out of work, EmbRACE to provide a voice for minority ethnic colleagues and our Neurodiversity Network (NDN) to help remove any barriers preventing neurodiverse colleagues from reaching their full potential.
If this role is of interest we’d recommend applying as soon as possible. This role is usually very popular, and we may have to close the role early if we receive a high number of applications to ensure we can still offer the best candidate experience
