Location: Bournemouth Campus with regular trips to London

Health Sciences University (HSU) – formerly AECC University College – is a specialist health sciences institution dedicated to excellent education, clinical care and applied research.

Following the approval of our new university title in July 2024, and the merger of the University College of Osteopathy into HSU from 1 August 2024, we are entering an exciting phase of growth and transformation across our Bournemouth and central London campuses.

We are a values‑driven organisation inspired by our mission to create a healthier society through education, research and clinical care.

Effro offers a range of training and advice to professionals and the public to help them better understand dementia and support those living with it.

Case Workers in the Effro project have a wide ranging and diverse role, 2 days are rarely the same, you will be in the dementia community supporting individuals on a 121 basis to identify goals, draw up a bucket list and remain as physically active as possible. You will build relationships with the individual living with dementia and be able to spend quality time with the in pursuit of their goals.

Groups are carried out wherever there is a community of people living with dementia, primarily, but by no means limited to, nursing/residential home settings. Case workers will receive role specific training from our in-house training team as well as having access to a wide range mandatory and optional organisational training.

Quote from current caseworker: “Every day is different, it is a pleasure and a privilege to meet so many amazing people with so much knowledge, skill and expertise to share. Groups can be busy and varied but are always fun.”
