Base pay range

Are you passionate about empowering people with visual impairments to live independently and confidently? Join us at Guide Dogs as a Vision Rehabilitation Specialist (VRS), where you'll make a real difference every day.

In this rewarding role, you'll work directly with blind and partially sighted adults, supporting them to regain or maintain independence and confidence at home, at work, and within their communities. Using a person-centred approach, you'll assess individual needs and create bespoke training programmes to help people navigate their world safely and successfully.

You'll be designing personalised action plans, delivering practical orientation and mobility training, and offering expert advice on assistive technologies and coping strategies. From assessing someone's skills to celebrating their progress, you’ll be by their side throughout their journey. You'll also collaborate with colleagues across departments and contribute to broader initiatives to enhance our reach and impact.

As a VRS, you’ll mentor trainees, share your knowledge with peers, and stay up to date with the latest best practices. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to develop your skills in a supportive and inclusive environment where your professional growth matters just as much as the lives you help change.

To be successful, you’ll need a recognised qualification in rehabilitation work or mobility instruction and a real commitment to improving the lives of people living with sight loss. Experience working with people with additional needs and a flair for teamwork will serve you well in this varied and meaningful role.

No two people with sight loss are the same, and none of our people are either. So, we are proud to offer a range of person-centred benefits that can support each member of staff in ways that really mean something to them – and show them how much they mean to us. We offer a flexible benefits package, discounts and cashback scheme, a generous holiday allowance and matched contributory pension scheme to care for our people.

This is a 12-month fixed term contract opportunity working 28 hours between Monday and Friday with flexibility for the hours to suit you. This is a field-based role within the Southampton team with extensive travel across Wiltshire, Hampshire, Dorset & the Isle of Wight however applications outside of this area will be considered. You may occasionally be required to travel to other areas depending on business needs.
