**About The Role**:
If you’re passionate about empowering people living with dementia to have their voices heard, then we’d love to hear from you

People living with dementia can often feel lost in decision making processes, particularly in the final stages of their dementia journey. As an Advocate Volunteer, you’ll be visiting people living with dementia in the community to support with advocacy cases and ensure they can express their views, concerns and wishes. Through establishing strong trusting relationships with the people you’re supporting and their carers, you’ll make a huge difference to the lives of people living with dementia, ensuring they can make choices and have their rights upheld.
- The Selby and surrounding area Dementia Adviser and Support team are seeking a proactive person to support the team and your local community by helping to ensure that people who are worried about or affected by dementia are aware of the support and advice services we offer - if this is something that you feel passionate about then we have just the role for you

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

- You are knowledgeable or willing to learn about dementia and its impact on people
- You have experience of interacting with the health and social care system
- You are empathetic, patient and have a caring attitude
- You have excellent verbal communication and listening skills
- You are over the age of 18

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.
