Optometrist (Part Time / Flexible) Bathgate Area
Job Description
Ref: RF# 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).
What Makes This Role Stand Out
- 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
What You’ll Be Doing
- 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
What We’re Looking For
- 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
Why You’ll Love It This Role
- 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.
