Salary: £25,391 - £27,450 per annum

Hours: 35 Hours Per Week

About the role: 
Every person’s experience of dementia is different. Sometimes, having someone who takes the time to listen, understand what matters and help make sense of the support available can make a real difference.

As a Dementia Adviser in Croydon, you’ll be there for people affected by dementia when they need information, guidance and support. You’ll listen to what is happening in their lives, help them understand their options and share information in a way that feels clear, relevant and manageable.

You don’t need previous experience of working in dementia, healthcare or social care to apply. We’re much more interested in the skills and qualities you can bring. If you’re a thoughtful listener, communicate with warmth and confidence and enjoy learning so that you can help others, you could be a great fit for this role.

This is a primarily home based role, supporting people across Croydon. You’ll also spend time in the local community for home visits, groups and events, typically around once or twice a week depending on the needs of the service.

You’ll be joining a small, busy team, where your work will be varied and rewarding. One day you might be having a one to one conversation with someone about the support available to them, another could involve a home visit, connecting with people at a local event or speaking with a small group.

You won’t be expected to know everything about dementia from day one. What’s important is that you’re willing and able to learn, take in new information and share it with people in a way that helps them understand their choices and decide what is right for them.

Croydon is home to diverse communities, including South Asian and Black African and Caribbean communities. We want our services to feel welcoming and accessible to the communities we support, so we particularly welcome applicants who can bring an understanding of different cultures and communities. Additional community language skills would be valuable in this role, so if you speak another language, we’d really like to hear about it in your application.

Deadline: 25 October 2026.
