This is a varied and rewarding role where you will combine community engagement, programme coordination, partnership working and direct interaction with people living with dementia and their families.

There will be travel involved and regular times when they need to work across other Hubs and areas

Working within an allocated geographical area and reporting to the Community Hub Manager, you will help coordinate and deliver our community dementia programmes, ensuring they are welcoming, inclusive and responsive to the needs of the people who use them.

You will build trusted relationships with people living with dementia and their families, providing information, practical support and signposting where appropriate. You will also work closely with synagogues, volunteers, community organisations and health and social care professionals to strengthen local connections and develop opportunities for people affected by dementia.
