About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to work with people living with dementia in the Foyle area. We are looking for an enthusiastic person to be responsible for the management and administration of the Community Support service including staff and volunteers who support people with dementia in their own homes and in the community by providing them with opportunities for one to one personalised support.

Support provided will be in line with the service specification, which will enable people with dementia to continue with personal hobbies and interests, try new experiences and continue with daily living and other activities that are important to them. The service will support people with dementia to make informed choices on how they spend their time and encourage people with dementia to maintain independence, autonomy and cognitive abilities for as long as possible.

The service is not a registered service and therefore does not provide personal care as defined by the Care Quality Commission (England); Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales and Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (Northern Ireland).

You will possess NVQ level 3 (or equivalent) in Health and Social Care or Management and leadership or have demonstrable experience and an understanding of the needs of people with dementia and their carers. The post holder will have a broad understanding of statutory and voluntary service provision and be able to travel the area independently.

The successful applicant will possess good IT skills, excellent communication skills, an understanding of delivering a service using a person centred approach and be able to travel independently across the Foyle area.

You will have experience of face-to-face service delivery, a broad understanding of statutory and voluntary services, ensuring independence, choice and control for all those who access our service.

The successful candidate will be required to undertake an enhanced Access NI check.
