Career - Guide Dog Mobility Instructor

I need assistance to choose
Guide Dog Mobility Instructors will work with a team of specially chosen dogs that have undergone initial socialisation through the Guide Dogs Association of Australia's puppy-raising scheme. They will train the dogs to guide people with little or no sight through all likely independent travel situations and also conduct interviews and assessments of all applicants for guide dogs. They will conduct a matching meeting, whereby guide dogs are matched to clients on the waiting list. They will train a person who is vision-impaired to use a guide dog at either a residential training facility or within the person's home area. Training is conducted over a period of three to six weeks. For people trained in the centre-based program, additional follow-up instruction of three to five days is provided upon the person's return home.
