About The Role
Dementia Adviser | Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Region | 28 hours per week | Between Monday to Friday 9am and 5pm | £20,312.80 to £21,960.00 per annum | Permanent
A community based support role where your people skills matter most. You do not need previous experience in dementia, healthcare or social care.
Every conversation can help someone affected by dementia feel understood, informed and connected to the support they need.
At Alzheimer’s Society, we believe no one should face dementia alone.
As a Dementia Adviser , you will listen with empathy, provide trusted information and practical support, and help people access the services and local connections that can make everyday life feel more manageable.
You will spend most of your week out in communities across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire , meeting people affected by dementia, attending events and working alongside local organisations.
This role involves travel across the full area, so a driving licence and access to your own vehicle are essential. You will manage your own diary and travel independently between locations, with some home working where appropriate.
No two days are the same. You might visit a family to explain the support available, offer guidance by phone or face to face, run an information session, support a community group or Memory Café, or work with local partners to raise awareness and strengthen local connections.
What matters most is your ability to build trust, solve problems and help people feel heard and supported. Your transferable skills could come from customer service, housing, education, community work, volunteering or personal experience.
If you connect well with people and want to make a positive difference, we would love to hear from you. You do not need to meet every requirement. We will provide full training and ongoing support to build your dementia knowledge and confidence.
About you
You could thrive in this role if you:
Build warm, trusting and person centred relationships.
Communicate clearly and compassionately with people from different backgrounds.
Feel confident offering information, guidance or emotional support.
Organise your own workload, balance priorities and keep accurate, confidential records.
Are comfortable using IT, travelling independently and working with local partners.
Interviews are provisionally scheduled for w/c 2 nd November 2026 and will take place via Teams.

Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging
We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve.
