Communication Executive Jobs in Manchester
Are you passionate about making a real difference in the lives of people living with Dementia or mild cognitive impairment?
Do you:
- enjoy working with groups of older people?
- have excellent communication skills?
- enjoy fostering creativity and independence?
- want to deliver life-enhancing programmes?
Age UK Mid Mersey has just been awarded National Lottery funding to develop and deliver evidence-based Maintenance Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (MCST) group programmes for older people experiencing cognitive impairment or who are diagnosed with mild to moderate dementia. MCST is a weekly group programme for people living with mild to moderate dementia or cognitive impairment. Group members take part in meaningful and stimulating activities, proven to help maintain memory and mental functioning. The groups provide a fun, supportive environment where people can build new friendships.
The programme will be overseen by an MCST Team Leader and delivered by a team of four MCST Facilitators, who will work in delivery pairs, and two carers support workers. One MCST Facilitator pair will deliver 2 group sessions a week in Halton and Warrington and the other pair in St Helens and Knowsley.
We are recruiting four part-time MCST Facilitators who will work in delivery pairs. One pair will deliver group programmes in Halton and Warrington and be based in our Runcorn Office. The other pair will deliver programmes in St Helens and Knowsley and be based at our head office in St Helens.
The facilitators will work closely with the MCST Team Leader to plan and deliver MCST programmes in their two Boroughs. Each programme will run for 12 weeks and will consist of four-hour activity sessions with a shared lunch. Facilitators will adapt the session delivery to meet the needs and specific interests of group participants ensuring the sessions are engaging and meaningful.
Facilitators will also work closely with the carers support workers and ensure that joined up support is provided to participants and their significant others.
Travel across Mid-Mersey is expected so the post holder must have access to their own vehicle and a full clean driving licence.
Full training in MCST will be provided alongside comprehensive induction and role specific training.

INTRAC is looking for a dynamic individual with a passion for civil society to join as Director of Fundraising and Partnerships.
INTRAC is unashamedly for civil society. We are a mission-driven, not-for-profit organisation, focused on the core belief that vibrant, diverse and inclusive civil societies are essential catalysts for a world where everyone can thrive. We believe that locally available civil society support is essential as part of the wider movement to ‘shift the power’ to enable those tackling inequality and injustice to be resilient and effective, to navigate changes in their context and contribute to long-term inclusive locally led change. This is an exciting time for the organisation as we move from envisioning our strategy to implementing it.
Our strategic framework, Locally Rooted, Globally Connected will guide INTRAC’s practice over the next five years, as we evolve to becoming a network-led organisation, influenced and informed by the priorities, insights and aspirations of our network members, and the networks we interact with. Together we will work to shift how civil society support is conceived and delivered: to transform civil society support eco-systems, so that local and global organisations are supported to develop, engage with others, and do what they want to do, better, to deliver just, equitable and sustainable societies.
The role of strategic funding is crucial to this transformative change. We are looking for an individual who is committed to anti-racist and feminist leadership to join our senior leadership team and help drive this change.

We are a remote organisation, with staff working across the UK. As we become a global network we are looking at options as to how to expand our staff base in different geographies, as we believe this will benefit INTRAC and support our strategic direction. However, we do not have a straightforward way to do this currently. Whilst we are open to considering applicants from all parts of the world we will not sponsor visa applications. If you are based outside the UK and are keen to consider one of our roles please email Jenny George to discuss details.
