There is no direct care element to their role. They provide advice, support and guidance to people affected by dementia, passionately promoting their independence, improving sense of well-being, putting people in more control of their lives.

They are searching for a compassionate, dedicated individual who has previous experience providing advice and support to those affected by dementia or similar.

If this sounds like you, they can offer you a stimulating and challenging career as part of their passionate team.

You will be:

• Offering a vital, compassionate advice service to support and guide those affected by dementia.
• Provide community based, face to face services for an increased level of support for more complex cases.
• Managing referrals, assisting clients in assessing their information and support needs in a person-centred manner.
• Providing knowledgeable and trusted information regarding services and benefits available and, where appropriate, assist clients in accessing them.
• Signposting clients to a choice of suitable other sources of help, where appropriate.
• Developing a proactive approach in reaching people with dementia and carers who may not otherwise access their services.

They are looking for:

• Someone who has working experience of assessing people face to face with an ability to assess their needs.
• Deliver advice and guidance with a non-judgmental approach and outstanding communication skills.
• Strong organisational and time management skills to manage your caseload of clients effectively.
• Good IT skills and be able to travel independently across Sutton
• An 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 challenges this would be taken into consideration.
