An exciting opportunity has arisen to work within Alzheimer Scotland as a Community Activities Organiser across Mid & East Lothian. The Community Activities Organisers will work closely with our Dementia Advisor to develop activities and groups that respond to the needs of the local community. The post holder will work in partnership with colleagues, people with dementia, and their families to:
1. Research, plan and develop suitable activities groups across Mid & East Lothian.
2. Facilitate a wide range of therapeutic and social activities.
3. Promote the groups and activities through appropriate platforms.
4. Review and evaluate activities providing regular reports of outcomes.
Alzheimer Scotland takes a blended approach to community groups, delivering a combination of online groups as well as in person. Proficiency and confidence in using and supporting the use of digital platforms and social media are essential for this role.
Successful candidates will have a positive approach to dementia supported by excellent communication, networking skills, and an empathic and positive attitude. Having a creative flair and being a self-starter would also be an advantage, as well as having experience of working with people with dementia. A willingness to develop through ongoing learning is essential.
Occasional evening and weekend work may be required, and a driving license and access to a vehicle are essential to the role.
The successful candidate for this post will be subject to a criminal check through Disclosure Scotland.
