Specsavers store on Cheltenham High Street have recently employed three GEM participants.

After hearing about the GEM Project through a partner organisation, Specsavers were keen to be involved in the programme, to help individuals signed up to the project back into employment.

The Lab Technician role, which Specsavers were looking to recruit for, was open specifically to GEM individuals, and after successfully completing the company’s interview process, three GEM participants landed the role.

They are involved in the final quality control check for the company, helping to clean the glasses before these are picked up by their customers.

The GEM Project would like to thank all the staff at Specsavers who have helped welcome these GEM participants into employment. It’s made a real difference to all of their lives and this would not have been possible without the support from Specsavers.
