This can include managing the team, ensuring excellent customer service, achieving sales targets, and maintaining the high standards of visual merchandising and store presentation.

You’ll assist with administrative tasks such as stock ordering and management, cash handling and reporting. You’ll play a key role in creating a positive and productive work environment, ensuring the store meets the business objectives.

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.

• Family and friends discount of up to 75% with free eye tests
• 33 days annual leave with the opportunity to buy or sell holiday
• Employee Assistance Program offering confidential support for your wellbeing

• Influencing others with a positive attitude
• Active listening and showing empathy towards customer and colleague needs
• Staying calm and supportive in challenging moments
• Working as part of a team to achieve store targets
• Bringing positive energy and representing the brand with confidence

Why Vision Express?

We are Pioneers bringing heritage into the future

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.
