Our in-store Opticians are hugely popular with our customers and they'll expect the same warmth and friendliness they get everywhere else in the store – as well as being confident and relaxed about discussing personal ocular health issues, quickly resolving customer problems and taking customers to the right products. We'll help you to become a star colleague from learning how to dispense glasses and contact lenses, looking after repairs, adjustments and glasses verification to teaching contact lens insertion and removals – with our great training and support, we'll help you keep getting better and better. You’ll either complete our dedicated Asda Optical Step In training programme or have the opportunity to enroll on to the Level 3 Optical Assistant Apprenticeship, the training route you take depends on which nation you work and whether you meet the apprenticeship entry requirements but either way, Asda will support you in becoming a fantastic optical colleague, who can deliver amazing customer service and patient care. Once you become a fully trained optical colleague, there are opportunities to progress your career at Asda Opticians. We may offer our high performing colleagues a chance to become a GOC registered Dispensing Optician via the Level 6 Dispensing Optician Apprenticeship.
