The purpose of the job is to provide this much-needed light touch support to our elderly service users while working closely with the project workers and volunteers to support the people who receive our services to become engaged and included within their communities.
About You
You will have good computer skills and the ability to use technology efficiently to maintain and update records, combined with a knowledge and understanding of the issues affecting older people, including dementia. The successful candidate will be able to work openly and honestly in a team setting and have an ability to prioritise their own caseload.
