About the role
Location : Community Based in East Riding of Yorkshire, with some homeworking elements.
Contract : Permanent, 21 hours per week over three days.
As a Dementia Adviser, you will have the rewarding opportunity to join a dynamic and supportive team who work across the East Riding, provide support, information, and guidance to people with dementia and their carers.
The service is unique to each service user 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 the client's own home, or at other locations in the community, face to face, by phone, letter, or email. You will also assist service users to access other services, providing signposting and referrals.
There will be a mix of home visits, telephone support and work with GP surgeries alongside opportunities to meet with your team, and update your dementia knowledge. We operate a triage system for our referrals and you would join the rota for this.
Your role as a Dementia Adviser will include:
Supporting people affected by dementia, families and carers to access vital services.
Improving people’s sense of well-being, enabling them to have more control over their lives.
Assisting with the identification of needs, providing information and access to relevant services.
Promoting our amazing Dementia Advice service and building relationships with a range of health and social care professionals.
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 with other diagnosis 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 collaborating with other professionals to achieve a positive outcome for people.
Good IT skills, experience working with databases and virtual meeting software (Teams / Zoom).
The ability to travel across local area independently when required.
Closing date: 23rd September 2024
Interview date: 10th October 2024
