This is an opportunity to use your communication, relationship-building and support skills to help people who are facing sight loss find the support, information and confidence they need to move forward.
A diagnosis that affects someone’s sight can bring uncertainty and a huge number of questions. As an Eye Care Liaison Officer (ECLO), you’ll be there at a crucial time, providing practical information, emotional support and guidance to people with sight loss, their families and carers.
Working as part of RNIB’s Eye Care Support Services, you’ll help people understand the support available to them, identify their individual needs and make informed choices that enable them to maintain their independence. You’ll support people face to face within hospital and community settings, as well as by telephone and digital channels.
About the role
This is a varied, people-focused role where you’ll provide person-centred advice and support to people of all ages affected by sight loss. You’ll help individuals navigate the sight loss pathway, signpost and refer them to appropriate services, and provide guidance on areas such as certification and registration, falls prevention and the wider support available to them. Where needed, you’ll also advocate on behalf of patients to help them access the right services.
Partnership working will be an important part of your role. You’ll build strong relationships with NHS eye care teams, statutory services, third-sector organisations and community partners, developing effective referral routes and helping ensure people receive joined-up support. You’ll also contribute to service evaluation and improvement, attend relevant clinical and professional forums and help raise awareness of the ECLO service.
About you
You’ll have experience of providing information, advice or person-centred support, ideally within a health, social care or community environment, and an understanding of how these services work together. An excellent communicator, you’ll be comfortable supporting people who may be dealing with difficult or life-changing circumstances, while remaining empathetic, impartial and non-judgemental. You’ll also be confident building relationships with professionals and influencing others to achieve positive outcomes for the people you support.
You’ll be organised, adaptable and able to manage your own workload, with good IT skills and an understanding of the importance of accurate record keeping, GDPR and information governance. The role may involve working across different locations and occasional travel for meetings or training.
You’ll also undertake the RNIB and City University Eye Clinic Support Studies qualification. The course is provided by RNIB and includes one week of study in Birmingham, alongside additional study and an exam.
What We Offer
RNIB prides itself on being a great place to work with a positive, progressive culture. We offer a wide range of benefits including 27 days of holiday per year (plus bank holidays) which rises with service, enhanced family friendly benefits, a contributory pension scheme with an employer contribution of up to 11% and a rewards platform with employee discounts across over 800 retailers.

Help Build the Next Act at The Fort Theatre
Have you ever wanted to help run your own theatre?
Theatre gives people somewhere to escape, to laugh, to be moved, and sometimes to explore things that are difficult to talk about anywhere else. We think communities should have places where that can happen.
At the Antonine Theatre Group (ATG), we have one of those places: The Fort Theatre in Bishopbriggs, just one stop from Glasgow Queen Street by train.
We're an amateur theatre company run entirely by volunteers, with something relatively unusual: our own theatre. We produce several shows each year, while also looking after and developing the venue that makes them possible.
This year, our programme has included Bull by Mike Bartlett, Chatroom by Enda Walsh, God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza and 2:22: A Ghost Story by Danny Robins, alongside our annual Christmas pantomime, Hansel & Gretel. So, as you might gather, we're not afraid of a bit of variety.
We're now looking for new volunteer trustees who can bring professional or creative expertise to ATG and help us shape what The Fort becomes next.
Who we're looking for
First, an important point: we're not looking for one miraculous person who can do all the things below. We're looking for several people, each bringing skills or experience in any one of these areas. If you recognise yourself in one of them, we'd like to hear from you.
What being a trustee involves
This isn't a trustee role where you turn up six times a year, read the papers, say something sensible about risk and disappear again.
ATG has no paid staff, so our trustees are hands-on. You'll help shape the organisation's direction and use your particular expertise to help make things happen.
The Management Committee meets around six times a year, and we'd normally ask trustees to be able to contribute around two hours a week outside those meetings.
You'll be helping to run a charity with its own theatre, an active programme of productions, finances, licences, members and volunteers. There are real responsibilities involved, but also a genuine opportunity to influence what a small cultural organisation and its theatre become over the coming years.
A board role, but also a creative community.
This is perhaps the unusual bit.
You won't just be joining a board. You'll be joining a theatre company and a creative community.
If you want to, you can audition for a play, direct a production, work backstage, design lighting or sound, build a set, help choose future productions, or learn something you've never tried before. You'll meet people who share an interest in theatre and, we hope, make some friends along the way.
No previous performing experience is required.
None of that is compulsory. If you'd prefer to contribute your expertise as a trustee and watch the shows from the audience, that's absolutely fine.
But we think there's something fairly special about being able to serve on the board of a theatre on Thursday and find yourself rehearsing on its stage on Monday.
You don't need previous trustee experience, and you don't need a background in amateur theatre.
What we're looking for is relevant skills or experience in at least one of the five areas above, sound judgement, and an interest in helping a volunteer-run theatre thrive.
