Trustee- Specialising in Eye Care 

Organisation:  SeeAbility

Location: Flexible around London and surrounding commutable areas 

Role Type:  Voluntary (reasonable expenses reimbursed)

 

At SeeAbility, ambition is at the heart of everything we do. With the right support, people achieve things they never thought possible — building friendships, discovering new experiences, gaining independence, and even finding employment. Our unique combination of self-advocacy, social care, influencing, eye care, and supported employment programmes enables people to challenge assumptions about disability and redefine what’s possible.

We specialise in supporting people who have learning disabilities or autism, who may also have sight loss. Through our support, people live ambitious lives and achieve things they never thought possible, whether that’s forming more friendships and relationships, enjoying new experiences and activities or finding employment.  We encourage people with disabilities to challenge what they expect from life, from themselves and from wider society.

Your Role

As we develop our new five-year strategy, co-produced with the people we support, their families, and our colleagues, we are in a strong position to build on our heritage and extend our impact even further. Trustees play a vital role in this journey —ensuring good governance, shaping our direction, and bringing expertise to meet the challenges of today’s environment, from funding pressures to workforce needs.

We are now looking to strengthen our Board with skills in eye care.  More about our eye care work can be found here: https://www.seeability.org/eye-care

If you share our belief in a more inclusive world, have experience in the eye care sector, and can bring that experience and ambition to help us achieve it, we would be delighted to welcome you to our team
