We have a brand-new and exciting role for an ambitious Optometrist to join our highly successful store in Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire.
Due to planned expansion within the store, we are looking for an Optometrist who is ready to use their passion and knowledge to help build on our ever-growing and loyal customer base. You will join a team of 17 dedicated and passionate colleagues who call this store home. With expansion plans in the near future, Stonehaven will be increasing to 4 test rooms all fully equipped with the highest and newest clinical technology including OCT, Nidek Phoropters as well as a Nidek Tonoref III.
Specsavers in Stonehaven first opened its doors in 2010. The store sits in a prime location in Market Square in the heart of the town and is firmly embedded within the local community. Stonehaven, a pretty harbour town which lies on Scotland’s northeast coast, south of Aberdeen. The town is famous for the Hogmanay Fireball festival, an ancient tradition which is celebrated each New Year’s Eve where people swing blazing balls above their heads to ward off evil spirits. Sitting just off the A90/A92, there are excellent transport links to the store with buses and a train station just over a 10-minute walk away.
What’s on offer?
We are passionate about the clinical & professional development of our team, and as our new Optometrist, we want to support you every step of the way. Through open conversations and regular 1-2-1’s, we will work together to tailor-make a career that suits you. There are so many areas to explore; from WOPEC qualifications and independent prescribing to paediatric accreditations or enhanced optical services, ILM courses, Pre-Reg supervision and the Specsavers Partnership scheme (Pathway). Along with your clinical expertise – this will stand you in good stead if you choose to become a store director yourself one day. Whatever your ambitions, we’ll do everything we can to help you be the best you can be.
Platinum employer
Our store is an accredited Platinum Employer – this means you can expect an exceptional employee experience every single day you work here.

What we’re looking for
You’ll need to be a qualified and GOC registered Optometrist with the drive, passion and the willingness to build upon our customer-focused culture. As part of our team, you’ll need to be able to provide a unique blend of customer care and professional excellence. You’ll need to demonstrate good attention to detail along with a passion for the community. Teamwork also forms a big part of our culture, so the ability to work well with others is essential.
