At ADSS we don't just support people with dementia, we also support the professionals who care for them.
Join a team that cares for you!
The Carer Peer Support Group provides a dedicated space for unpaid carers of people living with dementia to come together, share experiences, and access mutual support in a safe, inclusive, and non-judgemental environment.
To enable carers to speak openly and benefit from meaningful respite, their loved ones attend a separate room where engaging and appropriate activities are delivered. This structure ensures carers can fully focus on peer discussion, while people living with dementia continue to feel valued, supported, and socially included.
As a Volunteer supporting the Dementia Activity Room, you will play a vital role in creating a calm, welcoming, and engaging environment for people living with dementia while their carers attend the peer session. Strong communication skills, emotional awareness, and the ability to respond sensitively to verbal and non-verbal cues are essential in this role.
You will be part of a team that recognises the importance of carer wellbeing while upholding the dignity, independence, and rights of people living with dementia.
