***

**Yes? then please let us tell you more about the fantastic opportunity we have at Alzheimer’s Society**

We are hoping to welcome an approachable and knowledgeable Community Based Dementia Adviser to work across West Sussex Coastal. You will have the rewarding opportunity to provide support and guidance to people with dementia and their carers; helping to maintain their independence, improving their sense of well-being, and putting them in more control of their lives. The service is unique to each service user as it is based upon their personal circumstances and support needs.

Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Connect service provides high quality tailored information and support to anyone affected by dementia in the way they need it, when they need it. We provide a specialist telephone based information and navigation service, as well as community based services offering an increased level of support for more complex cases. Self-management - our online community (Talking Point) and online service directory are always available 24/7 and Keeping in Touch Calls - a way of keeping in contact with service users as their journey with dementia progresses.

Key Responsibilities:

- To manage referrals, assisting clients in assessing their information and support needs.
- To provide information regarding services and benefits available and, where appropriate, assist clients in accessing them.
- When appropriate, to signpost clients to a choice of suitable other sources of help.
- To develop a proactive approach in reaching people with dementia and carers who may not otherwise access our services.

**About you**

We are looking for:

- Working experience of assessing people face to face with an ability to assess their needs.
- Previous working knowledge of making clinical contacts and networking with various services and providers to offer the widest range of opportunities to those we support.
- Deliver advice and guidance with a non-judgmental approach and outstanding communication skills.
- Strong organisational and time management skills to manage your caseload of clients effectively.
- Experience and knowledge of working alongside volunteers and have the understanding to champion the valuable contribution volunteers bring to services.
- Good IT skills and be able to travel independently across the Coastal West Sussex area.
- An understanding of dementia and the needs of those living with dementia and their carers would be an advantage but if you have had experience supporting with other challenges this would be taken into consideration.

**About Alzheimer's Society**:
At Alzheimer's Society, we believe passionately that life doesn't end when dementia begins. We are here for anyone affected by dementia, and we do everything we can to keep people with dementia connected to their lives and the people who matter most.

Everything we do is shaped by people affected by dementia. Their knowledge and experience are critical to bringing about real-world solutions. From choosing the most promising research through to telling their stories to raise awareness; they are the heart of this organisation.

**Our Values**

We are **Determined to make a difference** when and where it matters most, by being passionate, focussed and making a lasting impact for people affected by dementia.

Every one of us is a **Trusted expert**, listening, learning and using evidence and experience. We are **Better together** by being open, combining our strengths, helping us to achieve more together. We are **Compassionate**, we are kind and honest, and we don’t shy away from challenges.

Through our values we will make the greatest difference for people affected by dementia.

**Equal Opportunities**

We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society.

We are committed to building a diverse organisation that represents the communities we serve and ensuring inclusion in everything we do. During your recruitment process we want to make sure that you bring your whole self and be at your best.
