Lecturer in Optometry

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Employer: UHI (University of the Highlands and Islands) - Role: Lecturer in Optometry - Salary range £43,243 to £45,877 per annum, pro-rata. Also mention grade seven, starting salary normally in that range, exceptional candidates up to top of grade £50,129 pro-rata. - Duration: Permanent - Working hours: Up to 1.0FTE, job share considered, Mon-Fri (also later: up to 35 hours per week) - Location: UHI House, Inverness - Closing Date: 04 October 2026 (but we should drop application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. Closing date is part of metadata; maybe we can include in a short p as minor metadata. The rule: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph with location, duration, closing date maybe. - About the role: Several paragraphs: "We are seeking an engaging and supportive optometrist..." etc. - Why Join UHI? Benefits list: 39 days annual leave (pro rata), flexible working options, cycle to work scheme, discounts, Employee Assistance Programme, chance to live/work in Highlands. - State-of-the-Art Facilities: teaching within modern purpose-built facilities. - Lecturer in Optometry (Up to 1.0FTE, job share considered) The post holder will contribute to development and delivery of curriculum at UG and PG level, both theoretical and practical. Utilising innovative teaching methods, to support students... part of passionate team... - Pay And Benefits: details about grade seven, salary range, exceptional candidates higher salary up to £50,129 pro-rata. This post is full time (job share considered) and will involve working up to 35 hours per week on a working pattern as agreed with line manager. This post is subject to a Disclosure Scotland PVG check. Workplace pension scheme: Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS). Full-time posts carry total of 42 days leave per annum (pro rata for part-time). Leave practice: except Christmas/New Year closure, leave may be taken any time subject to requirements and line manager permission. - Recruitment Process: details about application, deadline, shortlisting, interviews, contact HR for queries, reasonable adjustments. This is application instructions; we should remove. - UHI Employee Benefits list: 42 days’ annual leave (pro rata), attractive pension scheme, flexible working, family-friendly policies, occupational sick pay, Employee Assistance Programme, high-street/online retail discounts, 10% off Highlife Highland memberships, Cycle to Work scheme, contribution towards DSE prescription glasses, free parking and EV charging (where available), LinkedIn Learning access, long-service awards, active social events. We need to combine benefits info without duplication. There's overlapping benefits: annual leave (39 days earlier, then 42 days later). Need to preserve all substantive info; we should not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include both numbers? Might be contradictory but we must preserve both as they appear. Could combine into a list that includes both statements? Might be confusing but we must keep both. Perhaps we can note both: "39 days annual leave (pro rata)" and "Full-time posts carry a total of 42 days leave per annum (pro rata for part-time posts)". Both are present; we should keep both. Similarly, other benefits repeated: cycle to work scheme, discounts, Employee Assistance Programme, flexible working, pension scheme. We need to output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what content goes where. About the role: likely the introductory paragraphs about role, why join, facilities. Responsibilities: the duties: contribute to development and delivery of curriculum, utilise innovative teaching methods, support students, etc. Requirements: maybe GOC registered optometrist, etc. The posting says: "Are you a GOC registered optometrist looking for a rewarding new challenge?" Also maybe need to be registered with GOC. Also maybe need to have experience? Not explicit. Could include "GOC registered optometrist". Also maybe need to be able to teach? Not explicit. We'll include that as requirement. Qualifications: maybe degree in optometry? Not explicit. Could skip if not present. Skills: maybe innovative teaching methods, communication, etc. Not explicit. Better to only include sections that have real specific content. If we lack content for a section, we should omit it. Thus we can include: - About the role (introductory description) - Responsibilities (duties) - Requirements (GOC registration) - Benefits (list of benefits) - Pay (salary details) - Schedule (working hours, FTE, job share, hours per week) We may omit Qualifications and Skills if no explicit content. We must not create sections with filler text. Now craft HTML. We need

for each section heading. Inside each section, use

for prose,

• for lists. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include minor metadata like location, duration, closing date maybe in a short

  before sections? The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it." So we can add a short paragraph with location, duration, closing date. Let's do:

  Location: UHI House, Inverness. Duration: Permanent. Closing date: 04 October 2026.

  Now sections. About the role: combine the paragraphs about role, why join, facilities. We'll write:

  About the role

  UHI is seeking an engaging and supportive optometrist to join the optometry lecturing team at the state‑of‑the‑art Optometry Campus at UHI House in Inverness, in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. You will work alongside a committed team that puts students at the centre of everything they do, a dedication reflected in the university’s ranking among Scotland’s top five for student satisfaction in the 2026 National Student Survey.

  Why join UHI? The university offers 39 days annual leave (pro rata), flexible working options, a cycle‑to‑work scheme, numerous retailer discounts, access to an Employee Assistance Programme for you and household family members, and the opportunity to live and work in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland with Inverness as your base.

  State‑of‑the‑art facilities: you will teach within modern, purpose‑built facilities designed to provide an optimal learning and teaching environment, ensuring you have the tools and support needed to deliver an excellent educational experience.

  Responsibilities: duties.

  Responsibilities

  • Contribute to the development and delivery of a variety of curriculum at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, both theoretical and practical.
  • Utilise innovative teaching methods to support students on their academic journey.
  • Work as part of a passionate team focused on excellence in shaping the education of emerging professionals.
  Requirements: GOC registration.

  Requirements

  • Be a GOC‑registered optometrist.
  We could also mention that informal questions can be directed to Alison MacPherson, but that's contact info; maybe minor metadata. Could include in a short p after requirements? But it's contact; maybe we can include as minor metadata. However it's not a requirement. Might be considered minor metadata; we could add a short p: "For informal questions, contact Alison MacPherson, Head of Optometry, at alison.macpherson@uhi.ac.uk". That's not a heading; okay. Benefits: combine all benefits statements. We need to list them as
  • . Ensure we keep all distinct statements. List: - 39 days annual leave (pro rata) [from Why Join UHI] - Flexible working options - Cycle to work scheme - Numerous discounts across a broad range of retailers - Access to an Employee Assistance Programme, available to both you and family members living in your household - Chance to live and work in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland, with Inverness as your base — surrounded by stunning landscapes, including forests, hills, lochs, and beaches, perfect for weekend adventures. - State-of-the-art facilities (modern, purpose-built) – maybe this is more about role but we can keep as benefit? It's more about facilities; but we already mentioned in About the role. Could still include as benefit but maybe duplicate. We'll keep it under About the role only. - Full-time posts carry a total of 42 days leave per annum (pro rata for part-time posts) [from Pay And Benefits] - Leave may be taken at any time of year, subject to the requirements of the post and department and with the permission of your line manager (except Christmas and New Year closure) - Attractive pension scheme (Universities Superannuation Scheme – USS) and options for additional contributions - Occupational sick pay - Employee Assistance Programme (incl. spousal support) (duplicate but we keep) - High-street and online retail discounts - 10% off Highlife Highland memberships - Cycle to Work scheme (duplicate) - Contribution towards DSE prescription glasses - Free parking and EV charging (where available) - LinkedIn Learning access for ongoing professional development - Long-service awards and active social events We need to avoid duplication but we must preserve all substantive info; duplication may be okay but better to combine similar items. However we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can combine similar items but must keep the info. For example, "Cycle to work scheme" appears twice; we can list once. "Employee Assistance Programme" appears twice; we can list once with note about spousal support. "Discounts" appears multiple times; we can list as "Access to numerous retailer discounts, including high‑street and online retail discounts, 10% off Highlife Highland memberships". That's summarizing but retains detail. Might be okay. We need to be careful not to lose any specific numbers or details. Let's craft a benefits list that captures all unique items: - 39 days annual leave (pro rata) [Why Join UHI] - Flexible working options - Cycle to work scheme - Access to numerous retailer discounts (including high‑street and online retail discounts, 10% off Highlife Highland memberships) - Employee Assistance Programme (available to you and family members living in your household, includes spousal support) - Opportunity to live and work in the Highlands of Scotland with Inverness as your base, surrounded by forests, hills, lochs and beaches - State‑of‑the‑art purpose‑built teaching facilities - Full‑time posts: 42 days leave per annum (pro rata for part‑time posts); leave may be taken at any time of year (except Christmas and New Year closure) subject to post requirements and line‑manager approval - Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) pension scheme, qualifying and exceeding government standards, with options for additional contributions - Occupational sick pay - Contribution towards DSE prescription glasses - Free parking and EV charging (where available) - LinkedIn Learning access for ongoing professional development - Long‑service awards and active social events That seems comprehensive.
