About The Role
As a Dementia Adviser, you will have the rewarding opportunity to provide support, information, and guidance to people with dementia and their carers; helping to maintain their independence, improving their sense of well-being, and putting them in more control of their lives. The service is unique to each service user as it is based upon their personal circumstances and support needs.
In this community and home based role from the Blackpool Fylde and Wyre area, you will offer support to your clients by phone, letter, email and in person home visits. You will also assist service users to access other services, providing signposting and referrals.
Blackpool is a new addition to the area we offer Post Diagnostic Support in and being a visible and active part of its support community is a must, networking and advertising the service.
You will work closely with the NHS Memory Assessment Service in clinics in Blackpool and in the wider Fylde and Wyre area when required, to offer support to people following a dementia diagnosis.
You will help organise, attend but not deliver Singing for the Brain sessions in Poulton-Le-Fylde and attend Support Hubs and other networking events.
