Vision Link Worker - Fife and Tayside

We are looking to recruit a Vision Link Worker to join the Sight Scotland & Sight Scotland Veteran’s Team. You will work with our direct support teams to support people with Vision Impairment across Fife and Tayside. With the ability to assess the needs of Service Users within their own homes or over the phone, you will be part of a high performing team which will help lead the charity to continued success in meeting the aspirations of those who we support.

You will provide in-person support to people with vision impairment, including veterans.

If you have an understanding of vision impairment and the challenges people face or have experience in a relevant field and feel you have the skills to grow and develop the service, then we would love to hear from you.

The successful candidate will be expected to carry out home visits throughout Fife and Tayside, therefore a full driving licence is required. Where able, this role will be carried out under our homeworking policy, you will work from home. However, travel to one of our sites for face to face team meetings and training will be required occasionally.

The post is subject to PVG Scheme Record/Update.

You don’t need to meet every single requirement to be a great candidate. Most people learn parts of the job once they’re in post, so if a role interests you and you believe you could grow into it, we’d love to hear from you. We’re committed to fair, accessible recruitment. If you need any adjustments, like extra time, a different format, or other support, at any stage of the process, just let us know.

For more than 230 years we've been supporting and empowering people with sight loss to live fulfilling lives. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved, but we want to do more. We will build on our rich history to create an organisation which is prepared for the future, and ready to respond to the needs of people impacted by vision loss.

Our vision is bold. We want to be at the leading edge of positive societal change by:

• Investing our funds in the support that makes the biggest difference
• Putting our community at the heart of what we do
• Campaigning for change
• Accelerating prevention and treatment of eye conditions
• Fostering a collaborative culture of innovation and learning

We're determined that no-one should face sight loss alone. We're committed to improving, diversifying and growing our services to make sure we can reach many more people with sight loss - when and where they need us.

Our organisational values - Transform, Unite and Thrive - underpin all the work we do at Sight Scotland and Sight Scotland Veterans.
