Fife Society for the Blind is an independent charity who has supported generations of Fifers with sight impairment ever since it was established over 150 years ago. The charity is deeply embedded in the history, culture, and life of Fife and today it helps thousands of people who are sight impaired to enjoy independence in all areas of their lives. Thanks to the Society, there is now a clear pathway for anyone in Fife concerned about their eyesight from full visual screening to practical and emotional support. While practices and technology has changed over the years, the charity’s core aim remains the same – to make life with sight loss easier and allow people to be as independent as possible.

The Optician at Fife Society is the first of its kind in Scotland and continues to grow. Like any Optician, it is open to the general public as well as our registered clients. Based at The Society’s head office in Kirkcaldy, The Optician at Fife Society is a vital venture and supports Fife Society for the Blind on a number of levels.

Due to continued growth, The Optician at Fife Society – Scotland’s First charity Optician – is looking to recruit a Resident Optometrist.

This is an exciting time to join the team and get involved in something quite unique. As the resident Optometrist, you will have the scope to be involved with the charity as a whole driving through developments and expansions alongside carrying out the day to day duties of the clinic. This is an incredibly rare opportunity for a motivated and driven individual to join a dedicated and supportive team to work collaboratively to improve the outcomes for people living with sight impairment. You will be integral to developing the vision and growth of The Optician at Fife Society and its services whilst supporting the wider charity achieve its aims.

If you are looking for a long term, exciting and rare opportunity to carve out your own career within a respected, growing organisation, we would love to hear from you.
