Cleaning & Tidying

We are looking for someone who is patient, friendly, compassionate and sociable, 'people persons' who are comfortable chatting to and supporting our service-users and making them feel welcome at our groups,. Someone who is happy to make teas/coffees, welcome them at the front door and take a register, and able to help our clients engage in activities. No prior experience of dementia is necessary, although this would be a huge bonus. What is more important is enthusiasm for working with older people, reliability to attend regularly and a sociable disposition.

There is lots of chat at our groups, so this role will provide social interaction for anyone who is feeling socially isolated. You will also receive experience of working with people with a cognitive impairment, which is ideal for those who are looking to move into a health or social care career. This could be an ideal role for a nursing or social work student who would like to gain practical experience of working with people who have a cognitive impairment.

2 hours per week.
