Employment

Blind and partially sighted people succeed in a wide variety of jobs and in almost all employment sectors.

RNIB’s employment services ensure adults with sight problems get the best employment opportunities to enable them achieve their full potential.

If you have an employment enquiry please email employmentline@rnib.org.uk or call 020 7391 2097.

Work Matters campaign

Our Work Matters campaign highlights that three out of four blind and partially sighted people of working age are not in work. If you believe that blind and partially sighted people should be given equal employment opportunities, add your name to the Work Matters charter.
