Need To Know

Looking for a resident optometrist to join our lovely Kirkcaldy practice. Situated in this small coastal town in Fife, this is a brilliant opportunity for local clinicians or those interested in relocating. The store offers a small, skilled team who know their longstanding patients on a first-name basis. The store is also part of a wider network of stores that all support each other and work towards the same goals. We are closed on Sundays, so from a weekend working perspective, we would only be looking for Saturdays. We are looking for a colleague that is keen to grow the business, has patient care at the forefront of all decision-making and a desire to see the store hit plan!
