Project Coordinator (Eye Work Too Project)

RNIB want to support as many people as possible with sight loss to find and stay in work. This is a great opportunity for you to make a difference and make a positive change to the concerning statistic that only one in four blind and partially sighted people of working age are in employment.

About The Role

This rewarding role will see you co-ordinate the ESF funded employment project ‘Eye Work Too” in Northern Ireland. ‘Eye Work Too’ aims to reach and engage with people with sight loss who are unemployed. The project will help to address the high levels of unemployment amongst people with sight loss by enhancing their employability skills, IT skills and building confidence to find work.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is enthusiastic about helping RNIB’s customers achieve their employment goals

We actively encourage applcants with sight loss to apply for this role.

What we offer

As well as a stimulating and supportive working environment, we also offer a wide range of other benefits including:

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

• Excellent pension schemes
• RNIB Rewards – Our employee discounts platform gives you access to offers at over 800 in-store and online retailers
• In-house training and development opportunities
• Flexible working arrangements – Each new member of staff will be given a laptop to make working flexibly easy
• Free eye tests

Who we are

RNIB is leading the creation of a world where there are no barriers for people with sight loss. One of our key priorities is to ask people to see sight loss differently, reversing inaccurate perceptions and changing public behaviours so everyone expects equal participation from people with sight loss and the creation of a fully accessible society.
