The Dementia Service empowers and supports individuals and families from all backgrounds living across the Rochdale Borough. The project aims to increase access to appropriate services and provide support at the right time working towards tailoring dementia care services to ethnically diverse Communities.
The Dementia Activities Wellbeing Coordinator will work primarily with those experiencing memory loss, those living with Dementia, their carers and families, working in collaboration with Bounce Back providers, external agencies and stakeholders (including health, social services and other voluntary sector providers). They will provide activities, advice and improved access to information, guidance and support to those experiencing memory loss, those living with Dementia, carers and families, aiming to reach those groups who tend not to engage in mainstream services, during the pre and post diagnostic process.
The service will offer a person-centred approach helping carers to focus on their own mental health and wellbeing, and enhance their independence, so they are able to identify their own needs, gain a greater level of independence and access appropriate services.
The Dementia Activities Wellbeing Coordinator will work in partnership with organisations to review and identify challenges and barriers to accessing/providing support. Identify and implement appropriate models/methods of support and good practice to promote and facilitate improved quality of life for people experiencing memory loss and living with dementia.
Specific aims and objectives of the Service include:
- Seeking and accepting referrals for those presenting symptoms of dementia or have a diagnosis of dementia, and need help with accessing services/organisations that can provide the type of support required.
- Develop a proactive approach in reaching those who need the support who may not be aware of the Dementia Service, or may be regarded as “hidden”.
- Working with those experiencing memory loss, living with dementia, carers and family members to assess their individual needs, support them in accessing relevant information using appropriate methods of communication, and in community languages if required, within an established timescale.

Victim Support is looking for an Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (IDVA) to support victims of medium and high risk domestic abuse based in Rochdale. This is a fixed term contract until March 2022.
Victim Support (VS) is an independent charity providing a range of specialist services to people who have been affected by crime across England and Wales. We work towards a world where there are fewer victims but who have stronger rights, better support and a real influence in the Criminal Justice System. Everyone at VS is driven by our Vision Ambitions and Values to play their part in making a difference for those who experience crime and traumatic events. Working for VS gives you the opportunity to play a key role in a national charity providing high quality services to victims and witnesses and being a vital force for change.
Your primary role will be to ensure the provision of support and advocacy services to clients who are experiencing domestic abuse and supporting victims identified at high and medium risk of further harm in Rochdale. You will co-ordinate a multi-agency response that aims to reduce and manage the risk identified. This involves risk assessment, safety planning, and attending court with victims, advising on housing and legal options and service planning.
You must have extensive experience of planning and delivering caseloads, with strong crisis management skills and an understanding of the needs of victims experiencing domestic abuse.
You will be required to attend relevant meetings and will provide regular reports to the Operations Manager and also undertake talks and presentations to local groups and agencies, developing networks and partnerships and increasing the role of the service in the community.
Good IT skills, knowledge of criminal justice issues, knowledge of civil orders available to protect victims of domestic abuse and an understanding of the effects a court appearance can have on victims and witnesses of crime are also essential requirements.
You will be able to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing with people from all areas of the community and be able to assist with the monitoring, evaluation, and administration of written statistical reports on the project for management and our external funders.
Experience of working with victims of domestic abuse and other service providers and agencies in a statutory, voluntary, and social or community setting would be a distinct advantage.
SafeLives accredited IDVA's will commence on the higher level salary of the salary range.
Victim Support offers competitive rewards and benefits including pension and life assurance, 25 days annual leave (pro-rata), voluntary benefits such as season ticket loans and the opportunity to play a key role in a national charity providing world-class services to victims and witnesses and being a vital force for change.
