Due to a relocation, Specsavers Glasgow Forge is looking for an Optometrist to
join our thriving store on a full-time basis. Whether you're newly qualified or
bring years of experience, we'd love to hear from you.
Our Store
Since opening its doors in 2003, Glasgow Forge has continued to grow and evolve,
expanding from two to five testing rooms. Following a recent refurbishment, the
store is modern, bright, and fully equipped with the latest clinical technology
and equipment. As a busy and well-established store within the local community,
we typically run four to five clinics each day. We're looking for an Optometrist
who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, can adapt to busy clinics, and
thrives as part of a supportive team.
If you're passionate about clinical and professional development, Glasgow Forge
could be the perfect place to take the next step in your career. With a strong
track record of supporting progression and development, you'll be in excellent
hands from day one.
Conveniently located within The Forge Shopping Centre, the store benefits from
free parking, excellent public transport links and easy access from across
Glasgow and the surrounding areas.
Our Team
The team at Glasgow Forge is what truly sets us apart. Known for their welcoming
culture and people-first approach, the store has built a reputation for looking
after its colleagues. You'll never be left to manage on your own, and you'll
always have the support you need. Everyone works together to ensure the best
experience for both patients and colleagues. Whether you're a clinician, part of
the admin team, or a member of the retail team, there's a genuine one-team
mentality and a close-knit, family feel throughout the store.
We are proud to have several long-standing colleagues, with many team members
celebrating 10 to 15 years of service. This strong retention reflects the
positive and supportive environment we've created.
With four Independent Prescribing Optometrists already in store, and two more
soon to qualify, you'll be joining a clinical team that is passionate about
progression and continual development. Could you be the next?
