Community Support Adviser

No two days will be quite the same. You might support someone and their family during a hospital stay, advocate for their wishes in conversations with professionals, help them understand the support available when they leave hospital, provide guidance face to face or over the phone, respond to new referrals or connect them with ongoing support in their community.

Your transferable skills could come from customer service, housing, education, advocacy, community work, volunteering or another people focused role.

If you are someone who listens with empathy, builds trust and has the confidence to speak up for what matters to another person, we would love to hear from you. We will provide training and ongoing support to help you develop your dementia knowledge and confidence.
