**About the role**

We are hoping to welcome an approachable and knowledgeable Dementia Adviser to support the Lambeth Community Service. This is an amazing opportunity to have a rewarding career providing support and guidance to people with dementia and their carers at point of diagnosis. We strive to help people to maintain independence, improving their sense of well-being, and putting people in more control of their own lives.

- Strong organisational and time management skills to manage your caseload of clients effectively.
- Good IT skills
- An understanding of dementia and the needs of those living with dementia and their carers would be an advantage but if you have had experience supporting with other challenges this would be taken into consideration.
- The ability to travel independently across the London Borough of Lambeth if required.
