Playlist for Life is a personal music and dementia charity. We have a network of over 900 Playlist for Life ‘Help Points’ that share the power of personal playlists for people living with dementia.

You will be highly motivated, pro-active and enthusiastic. You will have strong organisational, written, verbal communications skills and experience of community mapping and networking. Experience of engaging with minority ethnic communities, remote communities and hosting community events or training would be an advantage. You will work on your own initiative driving progress in your local area following a comprehensive induction.

You will work remotely from home but when safe to do so you will also work within your community to network, engage and deliver training to local partners face to face.
