- Would you like to be a part of a specialist pilot programme to benefit people living with both dementia and cancer?
- Could you lead learning, engagement and research elements of a Dementia-Inclusive Cancer Support Pilot?
- Are you a skilled facilitator able to engage diverse groups with particular experience?
Be part of our new service supporting people living with cancer and dementia
People living with both cancer and dementia face significant unfairness:
- Cancer pathways are not designed for cognitive impairment
- Dementia makes it harder to understand information, attend appointments, and make decisions
- Individuals are often excluded from decisions and disengage from care
- Carers face high stress navigating fragmented systems with little tailored support
Our solution: A community-led, learning-based pilot that combines personalised support with system improvement.
The postholder will establish and facilitate a Participatory Learning Group involving people with lived experience, carers and professionals, ensuring that learning from the project informs service development, system improvement and future practice.
The role will gather, analyse and communicate insight from participants and frontline delivery, helping generate evidence about what works in supporting people living with dementia and cancer.
We are looking for a skilled Facilitator who:
- Has experience of community engagement, participation, co-production or qualitative research.
- Has experience gathering and analysing qualitative information and ability to identify themes and learning from complex information.
- Has excellent written communication and report-writing skills.
Training and development opportunities are available to all staff.
