While carrying out activities, Bank Support Workers should deal with all customers, visitors and staff in a professional and appropriate manner and report to Look Ahead staff and management any observations relating to customers' welfare.

• Help manage relationships with end users of the Tech Guide – people with Parkinson’s, their family and carers, and healthcare professionals – ensuring all stakeholders have the best possible experience.
• Provide user support, manage user-generated content, and enforce our code of conduct.
• Gain a deep understanding of the Parkinson’s community and of the organisations who supply and use tech to help them.
• Contribute your ideas and feedback to the development and growth of the Tech Guide itself.

What you’ll bring:

• Great organisational skills, able to make sure everything stays on track and is recorded and reported as needed.
• Excellent communication, negotiating and influencing skills, able to work effectively with people from a wide range of backgrounds.
• Ability to work independently as part of a close-knit team.
• Commitment to working with our user communities to co-create the right solutions for them.
