Singing for the Brain Support Volunteer
1 month ago
About The Role
Our Singing for the Brain sessions offer people affected by dementia a chance to enjoy a fun activity within a supportive environment, but we need you to help make this happen.
Singing for the Brain is a structured group session, designed around the principles of music therapy and singing, for people with dementia, who may attend alone or with a carer. These uplifting sessions offer the people attending an enjoyable activity, as well as the chance to socialise with other people affected by dementia.
As a Singing for the Brain Support Volunteer, you'll be welcoming and talking to people with dementia, helping them to feel at ease. Once the singing session starts, you'll provide encouragement to participate in the activity, and support the session facilitator with the activities, either online or in person.
This group meets on a regular basis, and you'll be part of a team that's passionate about making a difference in the lives of people affected by dementia.
You'll be great for the role if:
- You have an interest in developing meaningful relationships and making a real difference.
- You want to enable people with dementia to find their voice through music in an incredibly rewarding role.
- You are fun and enthusiastic.
- You have the ability to listen and display compassion.
- If you are supporting our virtual sessions, you will need to be able to navigate effectively online and be able to use Zoom with confidence.
- Experience of dementia is not essential, nor is the ability to sing.
About You
About Alzheimer's Society
Alzheimer's Society is here for everyone affected by dementia.
By 2025, an estimated 1 million people will be living with the condition in the UK, and many millions more carers, partners, families and friends will be affected.
Dementia is a complex condition, and there's no one-size fits all solution but until we find a cure, our aim is to transform lives today.
We do this by:
- Providing flexible support that people with dementia, their carers and loved ones, can access expert advice and guidance, support through their most challenging days, and a safe space to turn when they need it.
- Being a force for change - using research and influencing to push for breakthroughs that will change the lives of people affected by dementia now and in future.
Our Values
Determined to make a difference: We're passionate, we're focused and we make a lasting impact for people affected by dementia.
Trusted expert: We're listening, we're learning and we use experience and evidence.
Better together: We're open, we combine our strengths and we achieve more together.
Compassionate: We're kind, we're honest and we don't shy away from challenges.
Equal opportunities
Alzheimer's Society is committed to equal opportunities.
