Optometrist Pre-Reg Position Commencing July or August 2008 at Specsavers Opticians, Ringwood Specsavers Opticians 2 The Furlong Centre Ringwood Hampshire BH24 1AT Tel: 01425 484480 Fax: 01425 484482

We are looking to take on pre-registration optometrist in July or August 2008, to join our practice in Ringwood, due to the high recent growth of our practice.

Ringwood is a very affluent market town just on the edge of the New Forest National Park, with Bournemouth and its beautiful beaches nearby. We have a very modern practice and possess the latest state of the art equipment. We are committed to proving the highest standards of optometry and customer service.

We have a team of 13 staff which include my co-director Clive Butterfield, who is a Dispensing Optician and an ABDO College Examiner, our Store Manager Jason who is a Dispensing Optician, Tracey who is our Dispensing Optician and Contact Lens Fitter, and Thanuja who is our newly qualified Optometrist.

I am a College Assessor, so I am in a good position to help train and support you. My aim would be to provide an enjoyable year, allowing you to progress at your own speed with full support as required, ultimately getting you through the PQE's first time. A first-class pre-reg year provides a strong foundation for the future and is what produces a good well-rounded optometrist.

As a Specsavers pre-reg optometrist, you will benefit from Masterclass- the acclaimed distance learning course; Masterclinic- our unique residential course programme; the Professional Advancement Committee clinical conference- the largest event of its kind in Europe; along with the backing of a centralised pre-reg support office. We have very good links with local hospital eye departments and other specialist eye centres to help you gain suitable experience.

Working for Specsavers has the advantage of working in a dynamic and individually run store, yet still offers all the support of being under the umbrella of the UK's largest and most successful optician. Ultimately the career progression ladder can also lead to a joint venture partnership for those who are capable and committed.

We will offer a highly competative package and possible relocation costs to the right candidate. If you are interested in this position then please initially send your CV to me by fax, post or email. Please do not hesitate to contact me at the practice, or on my mobile: 07870 565434 in the evenings, if you require any further information.

Yours Faithfully

Bruce Fitzgerald BEng (Hons) BSc (Hons) MCOptom Optometrist Director.
