About RNID
We are RNID: the national charity supporting the 18 million people in the UK who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus.
Together, we will end the discrimination faced by our communities, help people hear better now and fund world-class research to restore hearing and silence tinnitus.
We work with our communities and partners across industry, government, charity, education and more to change life for the better.
Join our team
We are RNID. Together we’ll make life more inclusive for deaf people and those with hearing loss or tinnitus. Our charity has been through a complete transformation, while building on the best of our past. We’ve returned to our former, much-loved name, become wholly remote working, and established a new strategy, focused on reaching the 12 million people in the UK who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus.
We are creating a radically different culture which is externally focused, curious, evidence-based, deliberate, agile, and future orientated. Our values are at the heart of what we do.
We strive to be and continue to connected to our communities, insightful and confident in what we do and who we are, curious in everything we do and passionate about our purpose.
The Tech Team’s role is to champion inclusive technologies and connect everyone at RNID and in our communities with new technologies. We do that in three keyways:
Our bespoke consultancy works with corporate clients to make their products and services more accessible to our communities, such as helping Sonos develop features for their flagship soundbar
Working on major strategic technology projects, such as ensuring the roll-out of Auracast has maximum benefit for people with hearing loss, and a world first public dialogue on the use of AI for BSL applications.
Developing resources and content which help people understand how technology can support them in everyday life. We share these through our range of channels and with our RNID Near You volunteers.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about technology and how it can be used to improve people’s lives.
