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.
This role will take place across Brighton and Hove, with potential opportunities in surrounding areas. It is a community‑based role, meaning you will be out and about in local venues, community settings and at events, helping to raise awareness of dementia rather than working remotely. Locations may include libraries, community centres and public events, with activities shared in advance so you can choose what best fits your availability.
