London, United Kingdom Alzheimer's Society Full time

**About The Role**:
Help us to extend our reach

We are here for anyone affected by dementia and are keen to reach people in all communities, including those who may be more at risk of isolation through language, accessibility needs, identity or background.

You’ll play a crucial role in building and strengthening community links and raising awareness of the services we have available. You’ll take part in events and talk to groups to raise awareness of dementia and to identify people affected by dementia who can share their dementia story with their wider community as well as with us. You’ll also signpost people to access our services.

We are looking for someone friendly and outgoing, who has strong links within their community or who is willing to build relationships. We are keen to have BAME representatives but also anyone who has connections with those groups so that together we can raise awareness of dementia

**You’ll **be great for the role** if**:

- You have a confident and friendly approach and are committed to including people from all backgrounds, treating them with dignity and as individuals
- You have a good knowledge and understanding of your local community
- You have excellent communication skills and are able to talk to a variety of audiences. The ability to communicate in languages other than English is not essential but may be helpful.
- You are over the age of 18

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.
