Applications will be considered from candidates due to qualify June/July 2026.
This is a permanent position working 35 hours, Monday-Friday 9am-5pm. This is a field-based role within the Nottingham team with travel across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire. You may occasionally be required to travel to other areas depending on business needs.
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.
We wouldn’t be able to change the lives of people with sight loss without our people. That’s why it’s important for us to provide a variety of benefits that reward our colleagues in a way that suits them and recognises the hard work and contribution that they make.
Benefits
- 26 days annual leave. After three years of continuous employment, this increases to 28 days plus bank holidays.
- Real Living Wage Employer
- Flex pot – equal to a proportion of your annual salary to use on our wide variety of flexible benefits
- The option to buy and sell annual leave
- Discounts and cash-back scheme
- Excellent pension scheme (We will match your pension contributions plus 2% up to a maximum of 9% employer contribution)
- And lots more!
For high volumes of applications, we reserve the right to close adverts earlier than advertised.
