Vista Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired specializes in providing services for students who are blind and visually impaired to local school districts throughout California.
Our Teachers of Visual Impairments (TVI) have schedule flexibility, low caseloads, and administration support who specialize in vision loss and understand the many demands of teaching.
Working for Vista Center is unique because our teachers are never case managers and have the full support of a 360 vision team, including Orientation & Mobility Specialists, social workers, peer TVIs, ophthalmologists, and more!
We are looking to fill two positions: one remote position and one in person position.
The in-person TVI will work in these possible areas: Campbell, Mountain View, or Alameda County (will vary depending on TVI location).
Positions are available as either full time, part time, or contractor.
Please reach out for more information if interested, we would love to have you join our vision team!
