Community Development & Social Enterprise
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 recognize 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:
1. Advice - our expert advisors can offer one-to-one help with anything from building cognitive resilience to managing money matters and legal issues.
2. Listening - we offer places to be heard, whatever the question or concern, whenever help is needed.
3. Opportunities - to connect, learn and share with others in a similar situation.
4. Information - on all stages of the brain health journey, whether someone is worried about their brain health or living and caring well with dementia.
5. 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.
Key Responsibilities:
* Greet and welcome visitors to the centre, ensuring they sign in the visitor’s book and inform the relevant member of staff of their arrival.
* Receive and transfer telephone calls and take brief messages as directed by the Centre Manager.
* Support the daily running of the Centre, being a local point of contact for Centre visitors, and carry out 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 submitted to the Payroll Administrator by the due date each month.
* Receive and bank donations and fundraised monies while following the correct policies and procedures.
* Plan, review, and evaluate the activities within the Centres to ensure a welcoming and inclusive experience for individuals accessing our services.
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.
