Due to a relocation, Specsavers Glasgow Forge is looking for an Optometrist to join our thriving store on a full-time basis. Whether you're newly qualified or bring years of experience, we'd love to hear from you.
Our Store
Since opening its doors in 2003, Glasgow Forge has continued to grow and evolve, expanding from two to five testing rooms. Following a recent refurbishment, the store is modern, bright, and fully equipped with the latest clinical technology and equipment.
As a busy and well-established store within the local community, we typically run four to five clinics each day. We're looking for an Optometrist who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, can adapt to busy clinics, and thrives as part of a supportive team.
If you're passionate about clinical and professional development, Glasgow Forge could be the perfect place to take the next step in your career. With a strong track record of supporting progression and development, you'll be in excellent hands from day one.
Conveniently located within The Forge Shopping Centre, the store benefits from free parking, excellent public transport links and easy access from across Glasgow and the surrounding areas.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
