- Full-Time
- Competitive Salary + Bonus
- 33 Days Annual Leave
- GOC and Other Professional Fees Paid
Are you looking for more than just another clinic?
At Mackie Opticians, we believe optometry should feel rewarding — professionally, personally, and clinically. We are a well-established pair of independent practices in Lanarkshire, and we’re looking for an Optometrist to join our friendly and passionate team.
This is an exciting opportunity to work in a supportive community practice where clinical care comes first and where you can truly make a difference.
This opportunity is the result of the retirement of Dr Scott Mackie and the role will be shared between our Bothwell and Lesmahagow practices. The business is entering an exciting time as it transitions into the new ownership of Neil Gray – and we’re looking for an Optometrist to join this journey for the years ahead.
Please feel free to connect with Neil on LinkedIn via email – neil.gray1@nhs.scot
