Singing for The Brain Support Volunteer- Isle of Man

3 months ago


Isle Of Man, United Kingdom Alzheimer's Society Full time

**About The Role**:
Our Singing for the Brain sessions offer people affected by dementia a chance to enjoy a fun activity within a supportive environment, but we need you to help make this happen

Singing for the Brain is a structured group session, designed around the principles of music therapy and singing, for people with dementia, who may attend alone or with a carer. These uplifting sessions offer the people attending an enjoyable activity, as well as the chance to socialise with other people affected by dementia.

As a Singing for the Brain Support Volunteer, you’ll be welcoming and talking to people with dementia, helping them to feel at ease. Once the singing session starts, you’ll provide encouragement to participate in the activity, and support the session facilitator with the activities, either online or in person.

Our Singing for the Brain sessions are a therapeutic singing group for people living with dementia and their family or friends. As a volunteer you will receive learning and support and be part of a fabulous team. The Singing for the Brain facilitator leads the sessions, volunteers help to make the session run well and support inclusive participation. The volunteer also supports the social nature of the session with conversation and refreshments.

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

- You have an interest in developing meaningful relationships and making a real difference.
- You want to enable people with dementia to find their voice through music in an incredibly rewarding role.
- You are fun and enthusiastic.
- You have the ability to listen and display compassion.
- If you are supporting our virtual sessions, you will need to be able to navigate effectively online and be able to use Zoom with confidence.
- Experience of dementia is not essential, nor is the ability to sing

**Minimum age 16**

**About Alzheimer's Society**:
Alzheimer’s Society is here for everyone affected by dementia.

By 2025, an estimated 1 million people will be living with the condition in the UK, and many millions more carers, partners, families and friends will be affected.

Dementia is a complex condition, and there’s no one-size fits all solution but until we find a cure, our aim is to transform lives today.

We do this by:

- Providing flexible support services so that people with dementia, their carers and loved ones, can access expert advice and guidance, support through their most challenging days, and a safe space to turn when they need it.
- Being a force for change - using research a**nd influencing to push for breakthroughs that will change the lives of people affected by dementia now and in future.**

**Determined to make a difference**: We're passionate, we're focused and we make a lasting impact for people affected by dementia.

**Trusted expert**: We're listening, we're learning and we use experience and evidence.

**Better together**: We're open, we combine our strengths and we achieve more together.
