About The Role
If you’d like to support your local community by helping to ensure that people who are worried about or affected by dementia are aware of the support and advice services we offer, we have just the role for you!
You’ll support local events, hold information stands, and display leaflets in a variety of venues and locations highly visible in your community, such as libraries and GP surgeries. You’ll make sure the information publicised in your community is up to date and accurate. You’ll also establish connections with local organisations and community groups to help achieve widespread awareness of the support we offer. As a representative of Alzheimer's Society, we will provide you with branded clothing, and you may also have the opportunity to be included in event pictures to showcase the Society work in the local media.
This role is here to support a fantastic project across south Staffordshire in partnership with Burton and District MIND. We are looking to improve the diagnostic rates of both Dementia and Severe Mental Impairment across South Staffordshire. This means that we have spaces for people to volunteer in any of the following locations:
•Burton
•Tamworth
•Burntwood
•East Staffordshire (Burton & Uttoxeter)
•Stafford
•Cannock
•Seisdon
•Rugeley & Great Haywood
If you have a passion to support people that desperately need our help before it is too late and have an understanding of groups along the lines of ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+, ex-offenders, travelling communities, asylum seekers or substance users then this may just be the perfect role for you!
