Devon, United Kingdom Alzheimer's Society Full time

About the Role

Location: Community-based in the South Devon area with some home working elements

Contract: 21 hour part-time role

As a Group Facilitator with Alzheimer's Society, you will play a vital role in supporting people affected by dementia to meet others in a similar situation, access the support they need, and enjoy meaningful and often exciting activities.

Our groups in South Devon are an integral part of the community and to people living with dementia, they have been a lifeline to many. The facilitator will attend these groups and support the volunteers in activities, organizing speakers, and bringing the group together. The successful candidate will be managing a supportive and experienced team of dedicated volunteers.

About You

We are looking for a compassionate, supportive person with a good understanding of dementia and how it impacts both the person with the diagnosis and the carer. Our role requires excellent communication skills to engage people in group activities, ensuring the person with dementia can fully participate as well as the carer.

Key Responsibilities

  • Setup, promote, establish, organize, and facilitate or deliver group(s) and ensure that all attending are supported to fully engage in the session.
  • Recruit and guide volunteers that the volunteers have clarity about their roles and undertake appropriate training.
  • Take views and feedback of service users, taking into account the individual needs of members of the group.
  • Assist the service users to feel welcome and to understand the aims and benefit of the group(s), and welcome all new attendees, providing information about the group.
  • Proactively support an inclusive and welcoming working environment where all people we support feel able to be themselves.

About Alzheimer's Society

We are a leading dementia charity that provides support, care, and research to people affected by dementia. Our vision is a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today and providing hope for the future.

Our Values

We are determined to make a difference when and where it matters most, by being passionate, focused, and making a lasting impact for people affected by dementia. We are trusted experts, listening, learning, and using evidence and experience. We are better together, being open, combining our strengths, helping us to achieve more together. We are compassionate, kind, and honest, and we don't shy away from challenges.
