If you have a person-centred approach to care, and the ability to build relationships that truly matter, this is your opportunity to be part of something deeply rewarding.

As a trusted advisor, you’ll provide professional reports, risk assessments, and progress reviews that guide key decisions. You'll be a valued part of a collaborative, compassionate team, working across departments to continually improve how we support people living with sight loss.
This is more than a job — it’s a chance to bring meaningful change to people’s lives every single day, by creating partnerships that heal, uplift, and inspire.
If you're ready to combine your love of dogs, people, and purpose into a truly fulfilling career, we’d love to hear from you.
