Optometrist; Part Time

# 704

Date: 17 October 2025

Are you an independent, patient-focused OD ready for a role that fits your life — not the other way around? We’re working with a well-equipped practice just outside Bathgate, looking for someone to step in on a 3–4 day schedule (locum → perm possibility).

• No weekends required — school hours or flexible shifts welcome
• Salary around £50,000 for a full-commitment equivalent
• Locum-to-perm path so you can test the fit before fully committing
• Supportive structure, modern test rooms, strong NHS background with growth into private services

• Comprehensive eye exams & refractions
• Management of ocular disease, follow-ups & patient education
• Contact lens fittings & dispensing work
• Private and NHS patient mix — help build the private side
• Work alongside staff support (reception, assistants) so you can focus on clinical care

• Qualified Optometrist registered in the UK
• Passion for delivering high‑quality, patient‑centered care
• Comfortable in both NHS and private settings
• Reliable, flexible, and motivated to grow with the practice

• Autonomy + clinical freedom
• A role that works around your life (not 9-to-5 rigid)
• Opportunity to transition permanently if it’s a match
• A team atmosphere, not a corporate structure

If this sounds like the kind of change you’ve been waiting for, let me know. Reply or complete our short questionnaire and we'll be in touch to talk through the next steps — no pressure, just good fits.
