Dispensing Optician

Glasgow City Centre

Salary £30,000–£33,000 + Bonus | GOC fees paid

YOU MUST BE A GOC REGISTERED DISPENSING OPTICIAN – applications without GOC registration will not be considered.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a busy, high‑footfall city centre multiple in Glasgow. The store is well‑established, fast‑paced, and known for delivering strong patient care without losing sight of its people. Despite the volume, the culture is supportive, well‑structured, and refreshingly human.

• A balanced mix of clinical dispensing and people management
• Supporting and developing the dispensing and front‑of‑house team
• Managing day‑to‑day workflow, standards, and patient experience
• Acting as the in‑store clinical expert and mentor
• Working closely with senior management to maintain performance and morale

• High‑performing, well‑run city centre store with strong footfall
• Supportive management style which is structured, but not micro‑managed
• Clear development and progression opportunities
• A team‑focused environment where effort is recognised
• Stability, pace, and variety where no two days the same

This is a role for someone who enjoys being busy, takes pride in patient care, and wants to be part of a strong, well‑supported team rather than just another cog in the machine.

• A confident, personable GOC‑registered Dispensing Optician
• Someone calm, organised, and patient‑focused
• Natural leadership style — supportive, fair, and approachable
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced city centre setting
• Positive attitude and strong work ethic

• A qualified Dispensing Optician looking to step into a Managerial role
• Or an experienced DO who enjoys leadership and wants more responsibility without excessive pressure
• Newly qualified and experienced candidates both welcomed
• Trainee DOs or Pre‑Reg DOs will also be considered for the right long‑term fit
