If you’d like to support your local community by helping to ensure that people who are worried about or affected by dementia are aware of the support and advice services we offer, we have just the role for you!
You’ll support local events, hold information stands, and display leaflets in a variety of venues and locations highly visible in your community, such as libraries and GP surgeries. You’ll make sure the information publicised in your community is up to date and accurate. You’ll also establish connections with local organisations and community groups to help achieve widespread awareness of the support we offer. As a representative of Alzheimer's Society, we will provide you with branded clothing, and you may also have the opportunity to be included in event pictures to showcase the Society work in the local media.
In this role you will be attending events such as a monthly stand at MKUH or at the retirement villages or community based health events. You would always be alongside a trained Dementia Advisor. You would help set up the stand and interact with the public. Locations may vary but always in Milton Keynes. This role is ad hoc (ie not every week) but once or twice a month for 2-3 hours.
