Location:
Wellington

Closing date:
Wednesday, 03 April 2024


Blind Low Vision NZ is the leading national provider of vision rehabilitation services for people who are blind, deafblind or have low vision.

Now more than ever, the opportunities are here to make a real difference for people with sight loss, and you'll help us achieve our vision of empowering New Zealanders who are blind, deafblind or low vision, to live the life they choose.

As well as supporting individuals, we seek to make big-picture change by advocating for inclusive communities and for optimal eye care services for all New Zealanders.

We have a rich history stretching back to 1890 and as we continue to connect people with sight loss to expert staff and their peers, we also continue to be one of New Zealand's most trusted and iconic not for profit organisations.


Purpose of the role:


Are you passionate about making a meaningful difference in the lives of others, and do you have a special place in your heart for our four-legged friends? Blind Low Vision NZ is on the lookout for an extraordinary individual to join our team as a full-time Guide Dog Mobility Instructor based in Wellington.

This is not just a job; it is an opportunity that offers the chance to change lives, both human and canine, every single day.

As a Guide Dog Mobility Instructor, you will immerse yourself in the rewarding world of guide dogs, playing a pivotal role in their journey from energetic puppies to trusted guides.

Your days will be filled with training these incredible animals and their dedicated handlers while also supporting them as they build a strong bond that will open up a world of independence for people that are blind, deafblind, or have low vision.


Based out of our Wellington office, you will find yourself regularly travelling around the lower North Island and occasionally venturing out to other parts of the country.

This role is your ticket to an exciting career that combines your love for dogs with your excellent skills in mobility training.


What we are looking for:

To be successful in this role, you must have:

  • A qualified Guide Dog Mobility Instructor from an organisation accredited by the International Guide Dog Federation
  • Minimum of two years' post qualification experience in the guide dog field
  • Computer literate with the ability to report fluently using written communication
  • Comfort with speaking in public settings
  • Strong communication skills
  • Physically fit to train dogs and guide dog teams in all types of weather
  • Willingness to represent Blind Low Vision NZ in fundraising efforts
  • Willing to travel within New Zealand as required


This is a great opportunity to join an organisation that is truly passionate about helping their clients, while also offering rewarding career opportunities, great staff benefits, and a flexible work environment where possible As we strive to be a for purpose organisation, our staff take an active interest and participate in fundraising and volunteer opportunities.


Blind Low Vision NZ welcomes diversity in the workplace and encourages suitably qualified people who are blind or have low vision, or any other disability to apply.
