• Bring technical, regulatory, and market understanding of AVs to shape the Foundation’s approach in this space. 

• Manage end-to-end delivery of specific initiatives, including planning, budgeting, due diligence, contracting, risk management, and governance reporting.

Are you passionate about making a real difference in the lives of people with sight loss? We’re looking for a dedicated and experienced leader to join our team as a Vision Rehabilitation Service Manager. In this role, you’ll lead and manage a regional operations team delivering person-centred services to adults and their families, helping them live the life they choose.

You’ll be responsible for overseeing the operational delivery of Vision Rehabilitation Services across a geographical area, ensuring consistency, quality, and compliance with national standards. Working closely with internal teams and external partners, you’ll help shape and improve services, embed safe practices, and ensure that customer feedback drives continuous improvement.

This is a leadership role with direct line management responsibilities. You’ll develop and support a high-performing team, promote professional best practice, and ensure services are delivered efficiently and compassionately. You’ll also contribute to strategic planning, monitor performance against key indicators, and support change initiatives that align with our long-term goals.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in a collaborative environment, is confident managing operational delivery, and has a strong understanding and experience of safeguarding, service design, and quality assurance. Experience in rehabilitation or similar services is highly desirable.

If you’re ready to lead a team that transforms lives and supports independence for people with sight loss, we’d love to hear from you.

​

You’ll work 35 hours per week, typically Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm. Some flexibility will be required to occasionally work outside these core hours. This role includes line management responsibility for teams across Scotland, so regular travel across the country will be required for meetings and 1‑2‑1s. Your nominated office will be Forfar or Glasgow, however homeworking will be permitted on non‑travel days.

​

We value in‑person collaboration with both our teams and the people we support. Therefore, the ability to occasionally travel nationally to other Guide Dogs sites for meetings is also required.

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.
