The Financial Wellbeing Specialist provides expert, rights-based advice on benefits and entitlements for individuals with visual impairments, including veterans. Working remotely across Scotland, the role supports clients and colleagues with applications, system navigation, and appeals processes. The Specialist manages an independent caseload, with referrals primarily received through Vision Information & Support Advisors or Vision Link Workers, and collaborates with Vision Link Workers when in-person client support is required. The focus is on helping clients access the financial support they are entitled to, ensuring accuracy in all work, and promoting clients’ rights while operating within the scope of financial advice.

You don’t need to meet every single requirement to be a great candidate. Most people learn parts of the job once they’re in post, so if a role interests you and you believe you could grow into it, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re committed to fair, accessible recruitment. If you need any adjustments, like extra time, a different format, or other support, at any stage of the process, just let us know. Please contact People and Culture on 0131 378 2793 or via people@sightscotland.org.uk who can arrange for any support you need.
