What can you expect from the role?

We’re looking for an ambitious and customer-focused Assistant Store Manager to join our team in Wimbledon. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone eager to develop into a future Store Manager.

You’ll bring strong organisational skills – confidently managing diaries and daily operations – while leading the team to deliver exceptional service and drive KPIs and sales performance. A background in optics is preferred, but proven retail or sales experience is essential.

If you’re passionate about people, results-driven, and ready to take the next step in your retail career, we’d love to hear from you.

Although the hours of this role are advertised, if this sounds like the role for you, we'd love to hear about your ideal working week. Whether this is hours to fit around the school run or you prefer a compressed week - we are open to discussing flexible options with you further.

Benefits


Free eyewear up to £550 annually with immediate eligibility.
On target bonuses of up to £4,212, depending on store performance.
Stretch target bonuses of up to £8,424, depending on store performance.
Family and friends discount of 75%, 50% and 25% with a free eye test.
25 days annual leave with the opportunity to buy or sell holiday.
Employee Assistance Program offering confidential support for your wellbeing.
Opportunities to get involved in the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation.

Some experiences you might have:

Solving complex problems for colleagues and customers.
Being customer obsessed and providing exceptional customer service.
Displaying a positive attitude that has influenced others to commit to a cause.
Active listening, having empathy to understand customer and colleague needs.
Calm under pressure, supporting customers and colleagues in challenging moments.
Being a team player, working with colleagues to achieve store targets.  
Having positive energy and the potential to become a brand ambassador.

Why Vision Express?

Working at Vision Express, you will be part of something bigger. With over 550 stores across the UK and Ireland, you will have the opportunity to share knowledge, elevate your career and reach your potential.

Together, we believe that we’re made stronger by our differences, so diversity and inclusion are key ingredients to our success, and we believe that striving for a culture of mutual trust enables us to reach our goals and achieve results.

We’re deeply rooted in our legacy – proud of where we came from, yet always innovating and improving the rules of the eyewear and eyecare game. We never stop learning, nor would we want to. We see our search for innovative solutions as an ongoing journey, not a destination. We’re curious – keeping up with trends, gathering insight, and thinking about where we can go next.
