Due to continued expansion, we are looking for a Sighted Guide to galvanise our team of highly qualified and experienced support staff ready for the 23/24 academic year.

Your role as a Sighted Guide will be to provide practical and mobility support to assist students with visual impairments in manoeuvring around.
