Specsavers Wonthaggi | Build a career, not just get a job.

Are you someone who loves a challenge, enjoys learning new things and wants to build a career in an industry where you can make a real difference?

Specsavers Wonthaggi is looking for the right person to join our team as an Optical Assistant, someone who is motivated, consistent, curious and ready to invest in themselves and their future.

Let’s be upfront: this isn’t a job where you can simply switch off your brain and go through the motions. Optics is a complex, fast-paced and incredibly rewarding industry. It requires attention to detail, problem-solving, strong communication skills and the ability to learn, retain and apply a lot of information. Every customer is different, every day brings new challenges, and consistency is key to getting things right.

But for the right person, the rewards are huge.

You’ll have the opportunity to develop specialist knowledge, build meaningful relationships with customers, contribute to their eyecare journey and become part of a team that genuinely cares about the difference it makes.

What we’re looking for

- Someone who wants to build a long-term career in the optical industry, not just find an in-between job.

- A strong learner who enjoys using their brain, solving problems and understanding the why behind what they do.

- Someone reliable and consistent who takes pride in doing things properly, even when things get busy.

- A people person who can communicate confidently, show empathy and deliver an exceptional customer experience.

- Someone who is open to feedback, willing to be challenged and motivated to keep improving.





- A team player who understands that great results come from consistency, accountability and supporting one another.

You don’t need previous optical experience — the right attitude, work ethic and willingness to learn matter enormously. We’ll help you develop the skills and knowledge needed to grow in the role.

What you’ll gain

- The opportunity to learn a specialised and interesting industry.

- Ongoing training and development as you build your optical knowledge.

- The satisfaction of helping people find eyewear that suits their needs and supporting their eyecare experience.

- A supportive team environment where effort, growth and consistency matter.

- The opportunity to develop your skills and explore a longer-term future in optics.

About Specsavers:

Specsavers is on a continual mission to transform eye health in Australia and New Zealand – and we would like you to join us on that mission. Our Transforming Eye Health Strategy is focused on eliminating preventable vision loss and blindness, particularly with diseases such as Glaucoma and Diabetes, through improved prevention, early detection and co-management.

We strive for the highest clinical standards – and believe that the customer should be at the heart of everything we do.

The business has nearly 1,500 stores across 12 countries – and is still growing. We want you to be part of this outstanding success story.

You will be involved in all aspects of our customer's optometric journey from using high-tech pre-testing equipment to frame styling and dispensing. You'll work to healthcare guidelines (as well as our own high standards), give positive clear advice because of your love for fashion and styling, and provide a great experience at every prospect which exceed our customers’ expectations.

Is this the right fit for you?

If you’re looking for something easy, temporary or simply a way to fill your time, this probably isn’t the role for you.

But if you’re someone who wants to be challenged, enjoys learning, takes pride in getting things right and is ready to commit to developing a valuable skill set, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re not just looking for someone to fill a roster. We’re looking for someone worth investing in — and someone who’s ready to invest in themselves.

If you’re ready to start building a career, not just take another job, get in touch with Specsavers Wonthaggi. We’d love to meet you.

Please note: Due to the high volume of applications only successful candidates will be contacted.
