The role

Looking for a role where you can continue to develop your clinical skills, enjoy genuine team support and make a real impact with a loyal patient base?

Specsavers Forfar is looking for an Optometrist to join our successful and established team on a 12-month fixed-term contract. This is an excellent opportunity for someone seeking a fresh challenge, additional clinical experience, or a shorter-term commitment with the potential to secure a permanent part-time role at the end of the contract. While we'd ideally like someone to join us full-time, we understand that flexibility matters. We're happy to explore a variety of working patterns and welcome applications from Optometrists looking for either full-time or part-time opportunities.

Since opening in 2010, our store has built an outstanding reputation within the local community and beyond. Patients travel from surrounding areas to visit us, with many families trusting us with their eye care generation after generation. Following our relocation in 2020 and a refurbishment in 2024, you'll be working in a bright, modern environment equipped with the latest clinical technology across 4 fully equipped test rooms. 

You'll be joining a genuinely supportive and experienced team where collaboration comes naturally. Alongside fellow Optometrists, you'll work with qualified Dispensing Opticians, a Trainee Contact Lens Optician and experienced Optical Assistants, giving you the support you need to focus on delivering exceptional patient care. Our store partners are passionate about development and actively encourage career progression. We already have 2 IP-qualified Optometrists in store, with a further 3 currently undertaking the qualification. If you're looking to develop your clinical expertise, you'll be fully supported to achieve your goals here. 

One of the things we're most proud of is our culture. We have many long-standing team members who have built successful careers within the store. People tend to stay because they enjoy working here. The atmosphere is supportive, welcoming and fun, with plenty of laughter throughout the day. This is a team that genuinely celebrates success, encourages development and supports one another every step of the way.

What’s on offer?  

As well as all the support you need and great training and development opportunities, we have a whole load of benefits on offer for you to enjoy. These include:     

 
  • Up to £70,000 depending on experience and responsibilities (fixed-term contract salary)
  • £10,000 joining bonus (T&Cs apply)
  • 12-month fixed-term contract with potential permanent opportunities
  • Full-time and part-time working patterns considered
  • One weekend day per week or alternate full weekends
  • No late nights
  • 34 days annual leave plus your birthday off
  • Enhanced sick pay
  • Medical and dental plan
  • Paid professional fees
  • 30-minute testing in a set clinic
  • Free nearby parking
  • Outstanding clinical and professional development opportunities
  • Support towards further qualifications, including IP
