RNIB’s Advice Line is an integral part of its flagship service – the Sight Loss Advice Service. This is an exciting opportunity to join this team, taking on line management for a team of Sight Loss Advisers and supporting with the continuous development of the service.

Open 8am-8pm weekdays and Saturday 9am – 1pm, RNIB’s Advice Line is a crucial component of our Sight Loss Advice Service. Providing immediate and effective support, we offer invaluable one off and in-depth advice to people with sight loss, their family, friends and carers, over the phone or online.

As a Team Manager for the Advice Line you’ll provide support to your direct line reports and the wider team. You’ll provide supervision, mentoring and coaching to ensure advisers feel fulfilled within their roles and that they are able to effectively support our customers.

• Experience of managing advice services delivered over the phone and online, operating across the UK.
• Experience of quality monitoring and/or operating under an external quality standard.
• Significant safeguarding experience and the confidence to support advisers with responding to concerns.

Highly organised and calm under pressure with the flexibility to work evenings and occasional Saturdays, you will competently cope with managing a busy telephone advice service, whilst actively supporting your line reports to achieve positive results for our customers. Positive, empathetic and motivated, you’ll work on your initiative and as part of a supportive team.

In return

We offer a competitive salary, a stimulating and supportive working environment and a benefits package including:

• 26 days holiday per year (plus bank holidays – pro rata), which increase with service
• Excellent pension schemes
