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.

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.

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.
