Do you understand the needs of people with Dementia and their carers?

Could you provide a range of practical and emotional support to improve their knowledge about dementia and their wellbeing?

Age UK Sutton has been commissioned to run a Dementia Support service within the London Borough of Sutton. As a Dementia Adviser you will provide comprehensive, person-centred support and access to information, working closely with other Dementia Advisers and teams across the organisation.

You will work to empower both people living with Dementia and their carers, supporting them to maximise their quality of life. From diagnosis and throughout their journey you will provide access to information and support, help clients to make informed decisions and provide a consistent point of contact.
