**Dementia Support Co-ordinator**
We are seeking a part-time Dementia Support Co-ordinator to join our growing team, and to work with our South Asian members. The Dementia Support Co-ordinator will manage a caseload of people living with dementia and their family carers, assessing their needs and interests, giving expert information and advice, finding services for them and then being their point of contact throughout their journey with dementia.
The Dementia Support Co-ordinator will also be responsible for planning and running our Friendship & Activity group, called Pyaari Yaadein, for our South Asian members who live with dementia each week. The post holder will network with other health and social care professionals to promote our work and will signpost or refer our members to other services. Together Dementia Support is passionate about improving quality of life for people affected by dementia.
We provide a range of high-quality activity groups for people with dementia, helping them to maintain skills, physical health and emotional wellbeing. We also provide a befriending scheme for those people unable to attend groups. We also provide a range of individual and peer support services for carers.
**Hours**
21 hours to be worked over 3 days
**Salary**
From £25,994.00 pro rata (£15,596.40 actual)
**Role description**
This role requires someone from the South Asian community with energy, ideas, and a good understanding of dementia to plan and run our weekly group, and provide or arrange support for South Asian family carers of people living with dementia. Our groups offer a range of high-quality therapeutic activities as part of an empowering, supportive environment in which each individual is celebrated.
The Dementia Support Co-ordinator plans the group session, supervises the volunteers, manages all aspects of health and safety and arranges the transport either in our own in-house bus or using taxi services. The DSC must have a good knowledge and understanding of cultural issues in South Asian families, be able to speak community languages (especially Urdu), quickly build rapport with people and encourage them to attend groups whilst assessing their strengths, interests and support needs.
The DSC works in partnership with the family carer and may invite them to the group too or to a regular Carers’ Wellbeing session. The DSC will also get involved in dementia training and other projects that TDS runs. They will contribute to our information, advice and support service to carers and so will need to have a good knowledge of dementia and the relevant support services, whilst continuing to research information and increase their own knowledge.
