The town of Bishop Auckland is situated at the River Wear and the River Gaunless and has been the site of an important market since medieval times. Walk from the town centre straight into the beautiful grounds of Auckland Castle. Surrounding the Castle are the 800 acres of the Bishop’s Deer Park – a great place for a summer picnic or an autumnal stroll through vividly coloured parkland. The Castle is also set for fantastic new Developments in 2016. The store itself is in a great location and is always very busy, which is fantastic for the store and its staff, keeping you engaged and always on the go. Public transport for those who don’t drive is easily accessible with main lines travelling from Darlington and Durham. For those who do drive there is private parking directly behind the store.

Alongside being a qualified and GOC registered Optometrist, we are searching for someone who shares our store’s ethos.

In summary, we’re looking for a skilled resident Optometrist to join us, be part of the team and assist in driving our practice forward.
