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.  

Sight Scotland and Sight Scotland Veterans has been supporting people impacted by vision loss for 230 years. It’s an exciting time to join them as they continue to change, grow and develop to ensure that they remain relevant and innovative – and, most importantly, provide support which responds to the needs of people with vision loss today.

Working closely with the Director of Finance, Finance team, and budget holders across the organisation, you will act as a trusted business partner, providing financial insight and guidance to support decision-making. You will lead on budget holder reporting and monthly review meetings, oversee balance sheet reconciliations, support audit processes, and contribute to the development of financial policies, procedures, and a cost-effective procurement approach.

We are looking for a fully qualified accountant (CA, ACCA, ACA, CIMA or CIPFA) with strong experience managing and developing finance teams. You will bring excellent technical knowledge, including FRS102, alongside strong analytical, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
