The impact of vision loss is huge. But with the right support,
people with vision loss can gain the skills to remain independent
and active in their communities – to thrive. That’s why we’re here.
For over years, Sight Scotland and Sight Scotland Veterans has
been supporting people impacted by vision loss. We believe we
play an important role in continually shifting the conversation
around sight loss, and contributing to achieving a fair, equitable
society. Over the years, we’ve seen a positive shift in expectations,
with individuals and communities increasingly empowered to live
lives the way they choose, free of discrimination.

Reporting to the People Operations Team Leader and working
closely with other members of the People & Culture Directorate,
we are seeking a People Operations Assistant to provide support
for all activities across our People Operations Roadmap. This
covers the whole colleague lifecycle for both employees and
volunteers, and to contribute as an essential member of the
People & Culture team to deliver the People agenda and HR
contribution across our Charities. The People & Culture
Directorate delivers for our total workforce – both as individuals
or as managers. Our role is to support the organisation in finding
the perfect balance between a culture that enables employees
and volunteers to thrive and developing a successful and
sustainable charity that delivers.

This is a varied and collaborative role where you will act as the
first point of contact for People Operations queries, ensuring
a high standard of service is delivered at every stage. You’ll
be responsible for drafting accurate employment
communications, updating colleague records, and supporting
key processes such as recruitment, induction, training, and
workforce planning. You’ll also provide early-stage HR advice,
coordinate with Payroll to ensure smooth monthly
processing, and play a central role in improving and
streamlining People Operations activities.

We’re looking for someone with strong experience in a
similar HR role, ideally with a CIPD qualification or equivalent
practical knowledge. You’ll bring excellent communication
and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to work
efficiently in a customer-facing, deadline-driven environment.
A proactive mindset, collaborative approach, and passion for
making a difference in the charity sector will help you thrive
in this role.
