Community Sight Loss Advisor

Galloway’s is the leading local charity supporting people affected by sight loss in Lancashire and Sefton. We are currently going through an extensive change programme as we re-design our organisation ensuring we continue to put blind and partially sighted people at the heart of everything we do.

 

Role Outline

​

​

​

By providing community-based person-centred information, advice and support services to people affected by sight loss, this role will enable people living with sight loss to achieve connection, choice and confidence, delivering the best outcomes for everyone.

 

This role is dependent on a ROVI (Rehabilitation Officer for the Visually Impaired) contract, part of the Sensory Services within Adult Social Care, which is reviewed annually by the Sefton Council. Galloways has been awarded this contract for four years in a row and this Advisor role’s fixed-term contract would be extended were this expected renewal to take place again in 2025.

 

The role involves a hybrid working mix of home and community-based work covering the Sefton area with office space available in Southport and Bootle at Sefton Council’s shared office spaces.
