The Role
We are seeking a motivated individual who is passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of others. This role is ideal for someone with experience in a community, health, care or voluntary sector setting who can build trusting relationships and deliver tailored support to individuals.
You will work alongside visually impaired people to understand their needs, strengths and aspirations, supporting them to achieve their goals, maintain independence and stay connected within their community. The role involves conducting assessments, developing support plans, identifying and responding to risks and working collaboratively with families, professionals and local organisations. You must be confident working independently in a community setting and managing your own workload.
We are looking for someone who is highly motivated, values choice and wellbeing and understands safeguarding principles. Strong communication skills and the ability to engage with people from diverse backgrounds are essential. Experience with assistive technology or digital inclusion is welcome but not essential.
