Company: Specsavers

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.
From the moment you join, you'll be supported by a team of experienced Optometrists who will help you settle in and develop your career. You'll also work alongside Dispensing Opticians and Optical Assistants, many of whom are Optometry students, ensuring that you can focus on delivering outstanding patient care.

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?
