Dementia Adviser

About The Role

Imagine walking into a room and seeing someone with dementia smile as they join a singing session, or a carer finally breathe a little easier because they feel understood and supported. That is the kind of impact you could have as a Dementia Adviser with us.

Every day in this role is different. One morning you might be leading a lively Love to Move session, helping people move and laugh together. The afternoon could be spent sharing guidance with a carer navigating the challenges of supporting a loved one. In between, you will be building connections across the island, mentoring volunteers, and creating pathways that make support seamless and meaningful.

We believe in seeing people for who they truly are, not just the label of a diagnosis. Our Dementia Support Service provides more than information. We provide hope, independence, and a sense of control. Through our groups, from Singing for the Brain to tailored activity sessions, we create moments that truly matter.

Location:

Based in the Isle of Man, this is a community-focused role supporting individuals across the island.

Hours:

We have both full-time and part-time positions available to suit your lifestyle.

• Facilitate and bring to life our range of activity groups, brightening the days of people affected by dementia.
• Lead and support a team of volunteers who help make everything possible.
• Offer guidance, support, and information that empowers people to stay independent and improve their wellbeing.
• Deliver sessions for carers, giving them tools, knowledge, and reassurance.
• Build strong relationships with professionals, partners, and community members, making the support network even stronger.
• Provide support in person, by phone, or online, adapting to the needs of the people we serve.

We are looking for someone who can see the person, not the condition. You are:

• Empathetic, compassionate, and non-judgmental.
• Confident in communicating with a diverse community and representing their needs to others.
• Experienced in running groups, working with volunteers, and supporting people with complex needs.
• Skilled with IT systems to record, report, and communicate effectively.
• Ready to travel across the island to reach those who need support.

This role is for someone who wants to make a tangible difference, someone who feels rewarded by the smiles, relief, and moments of joy they help create every day.

If you want a career where your work changes lives, uplifts communities, and leaves a lasting impact, join us. Step into a role where compassion, connection, and care are at the heart of everything we do.

Apply now and help us make every day brighter for people living with dementia and their carers.

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 groundbreaking 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.
