**About The Role**:

You'll be offering appropriate practical support to individuals taking part in Dementia Voice activities and this may include accompanying a person affected by dementia, if required, to Dementia Voice activities (this may be by car, on foot or by public transport). You’ll support with administration tasks for activities and events for example, by making phone calls and will also engage with people affected by dementia to support the coordination of Dementia Voice events.

- You are passionate about enabling people affected by dementia to share their experiences
- You have an understanding of dementia and its impact on people and their needs
- You can demonstrate empathy, compassion and patience
- You are organised and have good communication skills, especially listening
- You are over the age of 18
