About The Role

This role is within our Sheffield Dementia Short-term Intervention Service and Hospital Discharge Pilot. The service offers specialist support to people with dementia for up to 6 weeks to prevent crisis or provide crisis intervention support if needed.  Referrals for this service come from GPs across Sheffield and nursing staff working in the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals.

No two days are the same in this role and our work can really transform the lives of people affected by dementia. You will be supporting people with a dementia diagnosis (or on the dementia pathway) and/or their carers and wider families. You will be supported by a small team of dementia advisers, along with the local services manager and our wonderful volunteers.

The service sits within our Sheffield & Rotherham local services team.

About you

- Be An empathetic listener, able to assess and evaluate client need in a non- judgemental manner.
- Able to work under pressure and manage own caseload.
- Self-motivated and can work independently from home using your own initiative, but equally you are a team player keen to support your colleagues, working in community venues when required.
- You have some knowledge or personal experience of dementia, and the challenges people affected by it may face.
- Knowledge of relevant legislation such as the Mental Capacity Act, Safeguarding Adults, Data Protection.
- Able and confident to travel within the service area and visit people in their homes.
- Able and confident to organise and oversee group information sessions across the area
- Experience of record keeping and client data bases and the importance of adhering to procedures and policies.
- Good IT skills.
- Able and confident to represent the needs of people affected by dementia at community events and meetings.

Interviews will be held on the 7th May. 

What you'll focus on:

- Provide a person-centred and outcomes focused information, advice and support service to people affected by dementia and their carers.
- You will identify their needs and the services they may wish to access, give advice about how to live well with dementia and support the improvement of their sense of wellbeing.
- You will need to work with a variety of other professionals, such as GP’s, memory clinic staff and other health and social care services.
- Support may be provided in person, over the telephone, via virtual options or in writing.
- You will aim to reach people affected by dementia from all communities and work to make your service as inclusive as possible.
- You will be working from home, but you will be spending time in the community completing home visits, attending clinics and giving dementia awareness talks to groups, therefore you must be comfortable with public speaking.
- Represent the service at Primary Care multi-disciplinary meetings.
- Be involved with joint home visits with local authority social workers when requested.
- Attend awareness raising events and meetings with partner organisations when required.

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.
