Alzheimer Scotland, Scotland's national dementia charity, is seeking a passionate and dedicated Centre Activities
Co-ordinator to join our team on a part time basis. As a Centre Activities Co-ordinator, you will play a vital
role in developing and delivering our brain health and dementia support programs at our centre in Inverness
This unique approach is inspired by the pioneer, Alois Alzheimer, who first identified the brain disease we now
recognise as the leading cause of dementia. By building a range of engaging and supportive services in the heart
of their community, the Centre Activities Co-ordinator will support people to access:
Advice - our expert advisors can offer one-to-one help with anything from building cognitive resilience, to managing
money matters and legal issues.
Listening - we offer places to be heard, whatever the question or concern, whenever help is needed.
Opportunities - to connect, learn and share with others in a similar situation.
Information - on all stages of the brain health journey, whether someone is worried about their brain health or
living and caring well with dementia.
Support - everyone is welcome in our Centres, where those affected by dementia can feel safe with trusted staff who
understand what they’re going through.
As a Centre Activities Co-Ordinator, you'll collaborate closely with the Centre Manager to create a comprehensive
program of activities that align with our ALOIS principles. You'll play a key role in liaising with
stakeholders from Health and Social Care, NHS, and the wider community to enhance service delivery and raise
awareness about brain health.
Greet and welcome visitors to the centre, ensuring they sign in the visitor’s book and informing the relevant member
of staff of their arrival, receive and transfer telephone calls and take brief messages, when necessary,
dependent on the needs of the centre, as directed by the Centre Manager.
The Centre Activity Coordinator will support the daily running of the Centre, being a local point of contact for
Centre visitors, and carrying out the associated administrative tasks. Produce a monthly programme detailing the
services available, as outlined by the Centre Manager, and promote this widely across the networks.
Collate salary information (if applicable) and ensure that details are properly authorised and with the Payroll
Administrator by the due date each month. Receive and bank donations and fundraised monies whilst following the
correct policies and procedures for these and any other business banking required.
Your exceptional organisational skills will be put to use as you plan, review, and evaluate the activities within the
Centres. With a focus on continuous improvement, you'll ensure that individuals accessing our services have
a welcoming and inclusive experience, where their concerns are heard and understood.
To excel in this role, you'll bring excellent interpersonal and communication skills. Your passion for supporting
individuals affected by dementia will drive you to create a safe and supportive environment. Familiarity with
health and safety regulations, along with proficiency in standard office software and IT systems, will enable
you to coordinate activities seamlessly.
If you're ready to contribute to our vision of ensuring nobody faces dementia alone, apply now for the Centre
Activities Co-ordinator position at Alzheimer Scotland. Relevant experience of working with people with dementia
would be an advantage, as well as a willingness to learn and participate in training.
