Cognitive Stimulation is the only non-drug treatment recommended to improve cognition, independence and well-being by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). 

Alongside the MCST group sessions the programme will also provide advice, information and facilitated peer support for the carers of groups members. 

The MCST Team Leader will lead a small team of MCST group facilitators, Carer Support workers and volunteers.

The Team Leader will plan programmes, provide support and supervision to staff, and ensure compliance with relevant guidelines and standards. They will be responsible for undertaking initial assessment visits with clients in their own homes to ensure the MCST programme is appropriate for them.

Travel across Mid-Mersey is expected so the post holder must have access to their own vehicle and a full clean driving licence.
