Want to be the reason why people should’ve gone to Specsavers? As a Lead Optometrist here, you’ll be the go-to for eye examinations and contact lens services, helping us keep the nation seeing 20/20.
You’ll work with the store team to deliver high-standard clinical care and customer service to meet both patient needs and business objectives. And of course, you’ll be a key part in creating a warm and friendly environment for our customers and our team.
Our store
On the back of substantial growth, Specsavers in Paisley is looking for a Lead Optometrist to join on a full time permanent basis. The nature of the role is managerial lead, and ideal for somebody who is currently working in a similar role. You will have a passion for driving the team to success and motivating them to achieve results. Being IP qualified would be advantageous, but not essential, and you must be willing to supervise pre-reg's. We are passionate about the clinical and professional development of our team, and as our new Lead Optometrist, we want to support you every step of the way. Through open conversations and regular 1-2-1’s, we will work together to tailor-make a career that suits you. There are so many areas to explore; from independent prescribing to paediatric accreditations or enhanced optical services, ILM courses, Pre-Reg supervision and the Specsavers Partnership scheme (Pathway). Along with your clinical expertise, this will stand you in good stead if you choose to become a store director yourself one day. Whatever your ambitions, we’ll do everything we can to help you be the best you can be.
What’s on offer?
- Up to £53,500 depending on experience
- Impressive bonus scheme structure
- Bonus also in place if supervising a pre-reg student as primary supervisor
- Mix of early, normal and late working patterns
- Flexible weekend working
- GOC fees paid
- 29 days holiday plus your birthday off
- Excellent public transport links
- Outstanding clinical and professional development opportunities including IP and Pathway
- A supportive and sociable team – there to support you to be the best clinician you can be

Using your phone, tablet or desktop, you and your family have 24/7 access to thousands of experts, all from the comfort of your own home.
- Access to the latest clinical technology such as OCT
- Store re-fit in late 2023 giving a modern working environment
