Optometrist, British Blind Sport, remote role

British Blind Sport offers free recreational sight classifications to adults as part of our membership package and discounted classifications to children. 

BBS is looking for a qualified optometrist with an interest or experience in sight classification to assist in the processing and provision of recreational sight classifications to our members, allowing them to compete and play sport at nationally recognised events and competitions. Without a classification they may not be able to take part, so providing this valuable service can be life changing for some individuals.

Could you make a visible difference? Are you passionate about helping others and improving people’s lives? An exciting opportunity has become available to join our team, as a Volunteer Classifier. 

Your experience:

• Qualified optometrist
• Ability to be able to communicate clearly with non-professionals to ascertain their understanding
• An understanding or interest in disability sport is not essential but is desirable.

Hours of work/commitment:

• Working from home/remote. Interview date to be mutually agreed
• This is a voluntary, unpaid role, but you can claim reasonable expenses if required, such as travel to attend in-person meetings
• Applicants are encouraged regardless of their geographical location.

We are looking for a pool of classifiers so please get in touch at any time if you feel your expertise and time could make a difference. 

British Blind Sport is an equal opportunities organisation and will not discriminate against applicants on the grounds of gender, gender identity, sexuality, race, or disability. 

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment within the workplace and across our delivery programmes and actively encourage applications from diverse backgrounds and perspectives across underrepresented communities such as Disabled, Ethically Diverse Communities and LGBTQIA+ applicants.
