About Alzheimer's Society
Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.
At Alzheimer’s Society, we’re the UK’s leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding ground breaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.
Together with our supporters, we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.
Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.
Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging
We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer’s Society.
We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society.
Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy here along with our internal employee forum and Employee Lived Experience network groups help us promote inclusion and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people.

About Citizens Advice Camden
Citizens Advice Camden is a well-respected local charity with over 85 years’ experience of delivering free, independent and impartial information, advice and casework services which meet the changing needs of local residents. Our aims are to provide the independent, impartial, confidential and free advice people need for the problems they face and to improve the policies and practices that affect people’s lives.
We target our services at the most vulnerable in our community with our client profile closely matching local indices of deprivation. We identify trends to ensure our services remain agile and able to respond to changing and emerging advice needs.
About the Role
We are looking for a dedicated Advice Support Worker to join our well-established family advice service based at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). As part of Citizens Advice Camden, this service supports families of seriously ill children, who often face complex issues like housing problems, benefits entitlement, and debt. You'll play a key role in ensuring the smooth running of the service through administrative, organisational and communication tasks that enable our Advisers to deliver high quality social welfare advice and casework.
The ideal candidate will have strong administrative experience—ideally within the advice or charity sector—along with a working knowledge of issues such as welfare benefits or housing. Excellent IT, organisational and communication skills are essential, as is a sensitive and client-focused approach within a hospital environment. You will need to be able to work both independently and as part of a small supportive team. This hybrid role includes regular on-site presence at GOSH and requires the successful candidate to meet the honorary staff requirements of the hospital, including passing an enhanced DBS check and completing mandatory training.
If you're passionate about making a real difference in people's lives and want to work in a rewarding environment, we would love to hear from you.
