About the Role
The Alzheimer's Society is seeking a highly motivated and empathetic individual to join our team as a Dementia Adviser. This is a fixed-term position for 2 years, and the successful candidate will play a crucial role in providing support and guidance to people affected by dementia in Lincolnshire.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide information, guidance, and support to people with dementia and their carers to help maintain their independence and improve their sense of well-being.
- Work closely with local health and care professionals, partner organizations, and community groups to develop networks and pathways that ensure seamless and consistent support for individuals affected by dementia.
- Build relationships with a range of local contacts, including health and care professionals, to promote the Alzheimer's Society's services and provide dementia support.
- Develop and maintain a sound knowledge of IT systems to record data, write reports, and communicate with stakeholders.
- Understand and apply client confidentiality principles when representing client needs.
- Travel independently around Lincolnshire to meet with clients and stakeholders.
About You
We are looking for a highly motivated individual with a strong understanding of dementia and the needs of people affected by dementia. The ideal candidate will possess excellent communication skills, empathy, and a commitment to equal opportunity.
Requirements
- Empathetic and non-judgmental approach with a commitment to equal opportunity.
- Good communication skills to meet the diverse needs of our community and represent their needs to statutory and other voluntary agencies.
- Sound knowledge of IT systems to record data, write reports, and communicate by email.
- Understanding of client confidentiality and how it is applied when representing client needs.
- Ability to travel independently around Lincolnshire.
About Alzheimer's Society
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.
We are a national charity providing dementia support to a community that is ethnically diverse, but we don't reflect this in our senior leadership. This needs to change. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly those from ethnically diverse communities who are traditionally underrepresented in the charity sector leadership roles.
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.
