International Opportunities

For professionals considering a move

Your qualification can take you further than you might think.

Our experienced consultants have helped UK optical professionals build new careers around the world, in practice and in commercial roles with leading manufacturers and suppliers.

For some, it’s about lifestyle: more sunshine, more time outdoors, working to live rather than living to work. For others, it’s about career progression, whether that’s advancing clinically, taking on more responsibility or experiencing a different way of working. Either way, we’ll help you find the right opportunity and understand exactly what the move involves before you commit.

For businesses recruiting internationally

Zest Optical support optical businesses around the world to recruit across the industry, from qualified professionals in practice to commercial hires within manufacturers and suppliers.

Whether you’re looking to bring in UK-trained talent or recruit within your local market, we’ll identify and attract the right people and support them to settle successfully into your team.

Specialist, practical and confidential

Moving abroad takes more than a job offer. We’ll guide you through every step, from choosing the right location and opportunity through to preparing for the move and settling in. Where specialist advice is needed, such as visas or registration, we’ll make sure you’re speaking to the right people. Every conversation is confidential, and nothing is shared without your agreement.
