We know how difficult it can be for blind and partially sighted people to get that first run on the career ladder or come back into work after a break.  Well one way the RNIB is helping visually impaired people to take that first step into employment or return to work is through the RNIB See Work Differently Work placement scheme.
These are paid placements for a fixed term of twelve weeks and are generally for fourteen hours per week 
RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey was joined by Manus Fraser, who is coming to the end of his placement as an RNIB Public Affairs Assistant, and Rhys Felton, RNIB Public Affairs Officer who has been supporting Manus, to find out what the See Work Differently Work Placement scheme is all about, why Manus wanted to apply for a placement, how Rhys has been supporting Manus during his placement and the benefits of the scheme for other visually impaired people who might be looking at ways of getting into work or coming back after a break.
Future RNIB See Work Differently Work Placements will be advertised through the recruitment pages of the RNIB website and to find out more about the placement scheme do visit - https://www.rnib.org.uk/living-with-sight-loss/equality-and-employment/see-work-differently-placement-programme/
