RNIB Practice and Development Team provides a range of specialist training to health and social care professionals to increase knowledge and awareness of sight loss/ hidden sight loss for people with complex needs ensuring that the workforce skills are relevant to promote reach, inclusion and access to services.

In this exciting and challenging role, you will work independently to upskill internal and external workforce in line with RNIB Strategy, designing/developing, co-ordinating and delivering a range of internal and external training on sight loss and complex needs (Learning Disabilities, Autism, Dementia and Stroke) and associated topics, using relevant resources, suitable for 3rd Sector, Statutory and commercial services.

This is a UK wide role, focusing mainly internal delivery across the central belt, but with some external training.

Ideally you should have a training practice qualification or substantial experience of delivering training along with experience of working with people who have either complex needs or a sight problem, either professionally or personally. You will have a commitment to undertake essential training required for this role.

In exchange we offer a competitive salary, a stimulating and supportive working environment and a benefits package including:

• 26 days holiday per year (plus bank holidays), which increase with service.

In return we offer an excellent benefits package that includes an employer contributory pension and generous holiday allowance. What’s more we’ll make sure you have all the training and development you need, not only so you can do a great job, but to help you build your career with us too.
