About The Role
If you’re passionate about supporting carers of people living with dementia, then we have just the volunteer role for you!
Our Carers’ Information and Support Programmes (commonly referred to as CrISP) are a series of workshops for people caring for a family member or friend with dementia. CrISP aims to improve the knowledge, skills and understanding of people caring for a person with dementia, by providing effective support and up-to-date and relevant information.
A friendly face at the group, you’ll help carers feel at ease by chatting and listening to them and providing refreshments. You’ll encourage carers to share their experiences and provide information that will help them care for a person with dementia. You can also get involved by supporting at events to spread the word about the CrISP programme.
This role supports Dementia Advisers at the Carers Information Support Programme courses which run several times a year in Corby, Daventry, Northampton, and Wellingborough in conjunction with the Memory Assessment Service. The courses are 4 weeks duration of 3 hours per week and take place 4-6 times a year during the daytime on different days of the week. Please specify your preferred place of volunteering.
Please note that if you are NOT a passport holder of the country for the vacancy you might need a work permit.
