Alzheimer Scotland is the leading dementia organisation in Scotland. We campaign for the rights of people with
dementia and their families, whilst providing an extensive range of innovative, personalised, and therapeutic
support services.
We are committed to improving the lives and opportunities of people living with dementia, their carers, partners, and
families as their journey transitions from the first point of contact through to end of life. We believe nobody
should face dementia alone.
Are you a self-starter? Are you confident, innovative and collaborative?
If yes, then this may be the role for you.
We are looking for a Community Connexions Outreach Worker for the Fife area. You will be involved in supporting
people living with dementia to establish personal goals and outcomes and help them to achieve these. The
Outreach service is a short-term intervention and support service offering guidance and assistance to people
living with dementia and their carers to help live life to the full and as independently as possible. This may
involve helping to reduce social isolation, building confidence in using public transport, engaging with the
local community and much more!
The successful applicant will have a positive approach to dementia. You will be flexible, inclusive, creative, and
organised in your approach. You will be sensitive and compassionate with the ability to support people in times
of difficulty or distress. You will be an excellent communicator who can work effectively both with individuals
and with groups. You will have a positive approach to your own continued professional development and a
willingness to participate in relevant training. A relevant qualification and previous experience of working
with people with dementia would be an advantage.
In return you will be in a role which offers the opportunity to meet great people, have great job satisfaction and be
employed by an Organisation that offers a range of employee benefits and career progression opportunities.
