Service Co-ordinator (Part-Time, FTC)
Home-based (with travel to groups across the Northumberland area)

Together we can make a real difference

Belonging to the Royal Voluntary Service community means inspiring volunteers to support the nation's health and wellbeing. It means tackling the most pressing social issues in a workplace full of opportunities.

Through the gift of voluntary service, our volunteers provide much-needed support for over-stretched public services. They work at scale in the NHS, freeing up staff to dedicate more time to patient care and within communities to give practical help and support to people when they need it.

Our people are a welcoming team of individuals from every background who support one another to be their best. They are also some of the country's most compassionate and dedicated people who step forward to help make society better connected and more inclusive - where everyone can thrive.

We're currently looking for a part-time Service Co-ordinator to join us on a fixed-term contract until the end of March 2024. Though home based, travel to deliver support groups is required.

Your role

As a Service Co-ordinator, you will help provide support to people living with dementia and/or their carers delivering activity and support groups.

- Experience of working in a care and/or support environment
- Experience of professional relationships with those caring for people living with dementia
- Knowledge and/or experience of supporting people living with dementia (professional or personal)
- An understanding of the value of group activities to people living with dementia
- An understanding of the need for client confidentiality
- An understanding of collaborative working
- Proficiency using standard IT systems
- A full, valid driving licence and access to a vehicle with business insurance
