Optometrist Vacancy - Mackie Opticians

Are you looking for more than just another clinic?

At Mackie Opticians, we believe optometry should feel rewarding — professionally, personally, and clinically. We are a well-established pair of independent practices in Lanarkshire, and we’re looking for an Optometrist to join our friendly and passionate team.

This is an exciting opportunity to work in a supportive community practice where clinical care comes first and where you can truly make a difference.

This opportunity is the result of the retirement of Dr Scott Mackie and the role will be shared between our Bothwell and Lesmahagow practices. The business is entering an exciting time as it transitions into the new ownership of Neil Gray – and we’re looking for an Optometrist to join this journey for the years ahead.

You will also receive:

  • Industry leading salary based on experience
  • 33 Days annual leave
  • GOC and other professional fees paid
  • 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.

A Practice That Supports Great Clinical Care

Mackie Opticians have a group of well-equipped independent practices, with modern technology including:

  • OCT
  • Zeiss Fields Screeners
  • Biometer

We are proud to offer thorough, patient-focused eye care with the time and equipment needed to provide the very best service.

You’ll be working alongside:

  • Experienced clinical colleagues
  • A skilled and welcoming front-of-house team
  • Dispensing staff who genuinely care about patient experience

Our mission is to make a difference to people’s life by improving their vision. We’re a values driven business with a focus on:

  • Eye Can Attitude
  • All Details Matter
  • Care & Community
  • Responsibility
  • Forward Together
