Effro is an innovative dementia project which is part of Platfform for Change. It seeks to promote and support the benefits of physical activity and mental stimulation in slowing the progression of a range of conditions that are under the dementia umbrella. Building on a range of UK and international approaches we work in a person centred, individual way to help people living with dementia to regain a sense of their own identity whilst offering vital short-term respite to those who care for them. Effro offers a range of training and advice to professionals and the public to help them better understand dementia and support those living with it. We seek to train a range of people, with a range of backgrounds including medical professionals, Council staff, social care professionals, paid and unpaid carers. You will be working alongside an experienced training officer who has been part of the Effro project for 5 years who will support you in your role. Your role will involve taking the Effro approach into the wider community and demystifying the world of dementia whilst tailoring training to meet the specific needs of your audience. Quote from current training officer: “It’s great to see confidence being built and people growing and developing their skills in dementia support. It’s fantastic to know our training continues to have an impact upon the dementia community long after people have left the room”. Access to your own vehicle, and Class One Business insurance is a mandatory requirement for the role.
