**About The Role**:
Want to use your interpersonal skills to enable people living with dementia to keep doing the things they love?

Side by Side Bristol is teaming up with** Dogs for Good** to offer a volunteering opportunity, which includes free dog training. If your dog loves people and you can spare an hour a week to bring company to someone with dementia, we'd love to hear from you.

As a Side by Side volunteer you'll need to commit to an hour of time per week (flexible to you), for a minimum of six months. You’ll visit the same person with dementia each week and be supported by the coordinator throughout.

The training with Dogs for Good will involve coming to a series of free weekly training classes with your dog, for a period of 6-8 weeks. These are likely to be 1 hour each, held on a Thursday 12 -1pm

We will hold an information session online on Thursday 25 July 12 -1pm

- You want to support, enable and empower people living with dementia
- You are a good verbal communicator with great listening skills, especially face to face
- You are happy volunteering on your own and keeping in touch with your team
- You can provide a committed, flexible approach and are willing to learn new skills
- You are over the age of 18

**Your Dog may be suited if**:

- Your dog is confident and relaxed around people and enjoys meeting new people, and greets people calmly and politely
- Your dog will be at least 12 months of age when you plan to start volunteering
- Your dog is fully vaccinated (or titre tested) and is in good health
- Unfortunately at this stage we are unable to accept dogs that are fed on a raw diet as advised by the Royal College of Nursing.
- Your dog is confident and relaxed around other dogs and shows no signs of guarding
- You will need to be able to attend our information session and training classes and pass an assessment before volunteering with your dog
