Job description
About The Role Our Dementia Friends programme raises absolutely essential awareness of dementia, but we need you to make it happen! As a Dementia Friends Ambassador, you’ll be changing attitudes about dementia by delivering Dementia Friends Sessions and interacting with the public on a regular basis. A representative in your local area, you’ll also be raising awareness of the work of Alzheimer’s Society, helping to ensure people affected by dementia are aware of the vital information and support we offer, and people or businesses know about the ways in which they can support us. This could include handing out our leaflets, encouraging the public to access our services and attending local events and talks. There are lots of other exciting ways you can get involved too, such as being a friendly face at local fundraising events, sharing social media posts or putting up posters. This role is community-based covering Torbay, and requires a minimum two-hour commitment, four times per year. We would love to see applications from under-represented groups across the Torbay area. If your application is successful, you would need to complete 6 hours of training before starting as a volunteer. This would be in the form of eLearning (1 hour) and specific Dementia Friends Ambassadors training (5 hours online). Interested? To apply for this role please click on the Apply button at the bottom of the page. You’ll be great for the role if you: * Have good presentation skills or are willing to learn this skill (training and support given) * Are proactive, organised and a natural influencer * Are a good communicator and able to speak objectively and passionately about dementia * Have basic IT skills – the ability to access websites and complete web-based forms * Are over the age of 18 Minimum age 18 If you find completing online applications difficult, please dont let this stop you from applying. Please call or email us and we can support you with the application process. You can contact the Volunteering Recruitment Team by emailing volunteering@alzheimers.org.uk or call on 0300 222 5706. About Alzheimers Society About Alzheimer’s Society Alzheimer’s Society is here for everyone affected by dementia. By 2025, an estimated 1 million people will be living with the condition in the UK, and many millions more carers, partners, families and friends will be affected. Dementia is a complex condition, and there’s no one-size fits all solution but until we find a cure, our aim is to transform lives today. We do this by: * Providing flexible support services so that people with dementia, their carers and loved ones, can access expert advice and guidance, support through their most challenging days, and a safe space to turn when they need it. * Being a force for change - using research and influencing to push for breakthroughs that will change the lives of people affected by dementia now and in future. Our Values Determined to make a difference: Were passionate, were focused and we make a lasting impact for people affected by dementia. Trusted expert: Were listening, were learning and we use experience and evidence. Better together: Were open, we combine our strengths and we achieve more together. Compassionate: Were kind, we’re honest and we dont shy away from challenges. Equal opportunities Alzheimer’s Society is committed to equal opportunities.

We are committed to building a diverse organisation that represents the communities we serve and ensuring inclusion in everything we do. This means ensuring our recruitment processes are barrier‑free and as inclusive as possible to everyone.
