Job description

Exciting times lie ahead at Specsavers Cupar!

Due to continued business growth, we're looking for an Optometrist to join our thriving team on either a full or part-time basis. Whether you're newly qualified and looking for a supportive environment to kick-start your career, or an experienced Optometrist seeking your next challenge, this is an excellent opportunity to develop your clinical skills within a store that truly prioritises patient care, professional development, and work-life balance.

Since opening in 2019, Specsavers Cupar has built a loyal and growing patient base across a wide range of demographics. You'll be working in a modern, well-equipped store featuring 3 test rooms.

You’ll become part of a close-knit and supportive team, working alongside 2 Independent Prescribing Optometrists, a Contact Lens Optician, experienced Optical Assistants, and a dedicated Store Manager who keeps everything running smoothly. As a smaller store, Cupar has a genuine family feel where everyone's contribution is valued and recognised.The team is also passionate about supporting the local community, sponsoring local sports clubs and initiatives that make a positive impact beyond the store walls.

For Independent Prescribers, this is a fantastic opportunity to fully utilise your additional qualifications within a supportive clinical environment. For those who haven't yet achieved IP accreditation, you'll be joining a store that actively encourages and supports professional development. If Independent Prescribing is part of your future career ambitions, you'll have the backing and encouragement to achieve it here in Cupar.

We also understand the importance of achieving a healthy work-life balance. Unlike many roles within the industry, Specsavers Cupar is closed on Sundays, meaning you'll never be required to work a Sunday. The team can also offer genuine flexibility around Saturday working, creating working patterns that suit both the business and your lifestyle wherever possible.

Conveniently located on the high street, the store benefits from free nearby parking and excellent public transport links, making commuting easy from surrounding areas.

What’s on offer?

• Up to £65,000 salary depending on experience
• Up to £10,000 joining bonus (T&Cs apply)
• Bonus scheme in place
• Full or part-time working patterns available
• A genuinely flexible approach to weekends
• No Sunday working as the store is closed
• No late nights
• Private medical and dental plan
• 33 days annual leave plus your birthday off
• 25-minute testing in a rolling clinic
• Support with further qualifications, including Independent Prescribing
• Paid professional fees
• Free parking nearby and excellent public transport links

"Work-life balance" and "weekend flexibility" are phrases we often see in job adverts, but at Specsavers Cupar we genuinely mean it. With no Sunday working and flexibility around Saturdays wherever possible, this is an opportunity to build a rewarding career without compromising on the things that matter most outside of work.
