You will manage your own caseload, keeping clear and accurate records, while always seeing the person behind the paperwork.
You will be part of a caring and dynamic local team who share ideas, reflect together and support one another. There will be time to meet as a team and opportunities to keep growing your knowledge of dementia, with your manager and colleagues alongside you.
What you will be doing

- Building trusted relationships with people living with dementia and their carers across the East Riding
- Offering personalised information, advice and emotional support
- Visiting people at home, supporting by telephone and linking in with GP surgeries
- Taking part in the triage rota to ensure new referrals are handled with care
- Keeping accurate, respectful records on our systems and managing your own caseload

You will be:

- Compassionate and genuinely person centred in your approach
- Organised and comfortable managing your own time and workload
- Confident using IT systems to record information clearly
- A skilled communicator who can have open, human conversations
