Clinic Diary Coordinator
Hours: 40 hours per week, Full Time (Monday–Friday, 9am–5.30pm, with occasional Saturday cover)
Location: Glasgow City Centre – Office based
Salary: £27,040 – £27,560
Optical Express is focused on delivering exceptional patient care, outstanding clinical outcomes and continued investment in our people and technology. For over 35 years, millions of patients have trusted Optical Express with their eye care. As Europe’s leading private provider of laser eye, premium intraocular lens and cataract surgery, our Surgeons undertake more laser procedures collectively than any other provider. We look after thousands of patients in our clinics every week and it’s a privilege to transform the lives of so many.
The Optical Express team work together, collectively and consistently striving for excellence. We support each other, respect each other and are committed to a culture of care, trust and integrity.
We’re looking for an organised, analytical Clinic Diary Coordinator to take ownership of how our clinic appointment diaries are structured and used. You’ll review diaries daily, spot where capacity is being lost to gaps, fragmentation and late cancellations, and take action to recover it. Working alongside our Contact Centre and clinic teams, you’ll make sure appointments are booked into the right slots and that availability reflects what each clinic actually needs — protecting both clinic utilisation and the patient experience.
