About the Role
Location: Community-based across the East Cheshire region with homeworking elements.
As a Dementia Support Specialist, you will have the rewarding opportunity to provide support, information, and guidance to people with dementia and their carers; helping to maintain their independence, improving their sense of well-being, and putting them in more control of their lives.
The service is unique to each individual as it is based upon their personal circumstances and support needs. You will offer support to your clients in a variety of ways, whether in their own home, other locations in the community, face-to-face, or through remote communication.
You will also assist people to access other services, including our own programs, providing signposting and referrals.
About You
- Ability and interest in supporting people to maintain their independence, improve their sense of well-being, and help them take more control of their lives.
- 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 individuals with other diagnoses or support requirements, this would be taken into consideration.
- Experience with communicating with a wide range of people, adapting your approach to ensure understanding at all levels.
- Able to network effectively and collaborate with other professionals to achieve a positive outcome for people.
- Ability to work effectively and collaboratively as part of a local and regional team, while also demonstrating strong independent work skills.
- Good IT skills, experience working with databases and virtual meeting software.
- The ability to travel across the local area independently when required.
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.
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're a national charity providing dementia support to a community that's ethnically diverse, but we don't reflect this in our senior leadership. This needs to change.
We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the community we exist to serve. 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.
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.
