Flame Health Optometry is working with a confidential client to recruit a GOC-registered Optometrist for a full-time role in Aberdeen. The position offers a basic salary of £65,000, plus an annual bonus of £2,800. It will suit an optometrist who values patient care, time for thorough examinations and the opportunity to develop their clinical skills.
You will work in a well-equipped optical department, carrying out sight tests with 30 minutes allocated for each appointment. The working day runs from 10:00am to 6:30pm, with staff expected to finish by 6:30pm.
There are no KPIs or sales targets, allowing you to focus on delivering a considered service to patients.
Clinical development is supported, including the opportunity to pursue professional certificates in glaucoma, medical retina, paediatrics and independent prescribing. The role also includes some weekend cover, on either a Saturday or Sunday when rostered. You will not be expected to work every weekend, and arrangements can alternate, with flexibility where needed.
Our client provides optometry services through an optical department in Aberdeen. The practice is well equipped and offers support for ongoing clinical development, including access to training and professional certificates.
The package includes a £2,800 annual bonus, paid each October, and a salary review every 12 months, with an increase following the review. Other benefits include life insurance, private medical cover, a pension contribution, payment of GOC fees, CPD training events, a membership benefit and optical vouchers.
You must be registered with the General Optical Council and committed to providing high-quality patient care. An interest in continuing your clinical development will be valuable, particularly if you are keen to build expertise through professional certificates in areas such as glaucoma, medical retina, paediatrics or independent prescribing.
A flexible approach to weekend cover is important. You should be comfortable taking part in a rota that may include Saturday or Sunday working, while recognising that weekend work is not required every week. The role will suit someone who can balance their preferred working arrangements with a practical, cooperative approach to rota planning.
This opportunity may suit an established or developing optometrist looking for a role with 30-minute appointments and no sales targets. It could also appeal to someone who wants support to extend their clinical capabilities while contributing flexibly to weekend cover.
The position is based in Aberdeen.
