About The Role
At Alzheimer’s Society, we believe no one should face dementia alone. Every conversation, every visit and every small moment of reassurance can make a real difference. We are looking for a warm, thoughtful and organised Dementia Adviser to join our supportive North Somerset team.
You’ll support people living with dementia and their carers in your local area, offering guidance, reassurance, and practical help. Your role will include home visits, phone support, liaising with professionals, managing your own caseload, and helping with new referrals.
You’ll be part of a caring team, with opportunities to share ideas, reflect, and grow your knowledge of dementia.
Location: Community based in the North Somerset area
Contract: Fixed-term, 21 hours per week
What you will be doing
1. Building trusted relationships with people living with dementia and their carers across the East Riding
2. Offering personalised information, advice and emotional support
3. Visiting people at home, supporting by telephone and linking in with GP surgeries
4. Taking part in the triage rota to ensure new referrals are handled with care
5. Keeping accurate, respectful records on our systems and managing your own caseload
About you
You understand that dementia affects people in many different ways, not just the person living with the condition but also the people who care about them. You approach your work with patience, kindness and a genuine interest in what people are going through.
In this role you will bring:
6. An understanding that dementia affects people in different ways, including the person living with the condition and the people who support them
7. A kind, patient and inclusive approach, treating people from all backgrounds, cultures and communities with respect
8. The ability to listen carefully and communicate clearly, especially during sensitive or emotional conversations
9. Respect for confidentiality and the ability to handle personal information carefully and responsibly
10. Good organisation and teamwork skills, with the confidence to ask for support and contribute to a supportive team environment
Above all, you bring warmth, empathy and a genuine desire to help people feel supported during what can be a very difficult time in their lives.
