- Bonus scheme
- Professional fees paid
- Support for further qualifications
- A genuinely supportive working environment
We actively encourage and support professional growth, including:
- Independent Prescribing (IP)
- Development of specialist services
- Funded CPD and training days
- Opportunities to shape and expand clinical services within the practice
- Two Yearly Optometry Meeting with Training from Industry Peers
About the Role
Our practices are based in Lanarkshire, just on the outskirts of Glasgow. You can enjoy community living, while also remaining very close to the buzz of a major city.
Surrounded by stunning countryside, parks, a variety of retail and outdoor activities, it offers a fantastic quality of life — whether you enjoy walking, cycling, paddleboarding, or simply a slower pace of living. Equally, we are well connected to all the major cities in Scotland, and South towards England, and are based just off the M74.
This is an opportunity to combine meaningful clinical work with a balanced lifestyle.
We are looking for a full time Optometrist to join us in delivering outstanding patient care. You’ll play a key role in providing expert advice, fitting a wide range of contact lenses, and delivering ongoing care that makes patients feel confident, comfortable, and cared for.
