Job description
Community Support Adviser (South Asian Communities)
21 hours per week | Wednesday to Friday between 9am and 5pm | £15,234.60 - £16,470 per annum
This is more than a job. It's an opportunity to help people feel understood, supported and connected.
At Alzheimer's Society, we believe nobody should face dementia alone.
Every day, we support people living with dementia, their families and carers to access information, practical support and local connections that help them live well.
We're looking for a compassionate and proactive Community Support Adviser to join Team Sahara, supporting South Asian communities across Greater Manchester.
Team Sahara is a dedicated service supporting South Asian communities affected by dementia across Greater Manchester. We work alongside people living with dementia, families, carers, community groups, faith organisations and local partners to help people access the support, information and connections they need to live well with dementia.
You don't need experience in dementia, healthcare or social care to apply. We're looking for people who can bring transferable skills and a genuine passion for supporting others.
You may have gained these skills through customer service, retail, education, housing, hospitality, community work, charities, faith organisations or other people focused roles. You may also have personal experience of supporting or caring for someone affected by dementia.
If you can build relationships, listen with empathy, communicate confidently, solve problems and help people feel understood and supported, you may already have the skills we're looking for.
Whatever your background, what matters most is your ability to connect with people, build trust and make a positive difference.
Is this role for you?
This role could be a great fit if you enjoy meeting people, building relationships and spending time out in your community.
You'll spend most of your working week out and about across Greater Manchester, supporting people affected by dementia, attending community events, working alongside local organisations and helping people access the support they need.
You'll regularly travel between different locations across Greater Manchester, manage your own diary and build relationships with a wide range of people. This role involves being out in communities throughout the week, so you'll need to be comfortable travelling independently and working across different locations as part of your normal working pattern.
While some planning and administration can be completed from home, the focus of this role is being present in communities, meeting people face to face and building trusted local connections.
If you enjoy variety, independence and working with people, you'll thrive in this role.
What could a typical week look like?
No two days are the same, but you might find yourself:
- Visiting a family affected by dementia and helping them understand the support available to them.
- Delivering an information session at a community centre, faith venue or local organisation.
- Meeting community leaders and partner organisations to build local connections and increase awareness of dementia.
- Supporting a Memory Café, creating a welcoming space where people can connect, share experiences and feel less alone.
- Helping someone access services, support and activities within their local community.
- Attending community events and raising awareness of dementia across Greater Manchester.
- Building trusted relationships with people affected by dementia, their families and carers.
- Connecting people with support that helps them stay independent, informed and connected.
About you
We are looking for someone who enjoys working with people and is passionate about making a difference.
You'll be someone who:
- Enjoys meeting people and building relationships.
- Communicates confidently and compassionately with people from different backgrounds.
- Can work independently and organise their own workload.
- Enjoys variety and feels comfortable working across different locations and communities.
- Is confident engaging with community groups, partner organisations and local services.
- Wants to support people, families and carers affected by dementia.
To support the communities we work with, you'll need to be fluent in English and at least one South Asian language, such as Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, Bangla or Gujarati.
Because this role involves supporting people and communities across Greater Manchester, you'll need to be comfortable travelling regularly throughout the area and working in different locations during the week. Knowledge of Greater Manchester communities, venues and local networks would be beneficial.
Experience of dementia isn't essential. We'll provide training and support. What matters most is your ability to build meaningful relationships, support others and work confidently within local communities.
Why join us?
Every conversation matters.Every connection matters.
The support you provide could help someone understand a diagnosis, feel less isolated, access vital support or stay connected to their community.
In return, you'll join a welcoming and supportive team, receive ongoing learning and development, and have the opportunity to make a genuine difference to people affected by dementia across Greater Manchester every day.
If you're passionate about people, communities and making a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
Please note within Alzheimer's Society, this role is known as a Dementia Adviser.
About Alzheimer's Society
Dementia is the UK's biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.
At Alzheimer's Society, we're the UK's leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding groundbreaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.
Together with our supporters, we're working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.
Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.
Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging
We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.
We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society.
Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy here along with our internal employee forum and Employee Lived Experience network groups help us promote inclusion and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people.
Our hiring process

To ensure fairness and consistency to select the best candidate for this role, all our applications are anonymised up until an interview has been confirmed. We recognise the benefits of AI, but if you're considering using it to submit your application, we encourage you to reflect on the value it truly adds. AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to showcase them in your own voice.
We try to avoid closing roles early where possible, however if we receive a high volume of applications, we may close earlier than the advertised closing date. Should this occur, we will aim to provide you with at least 48 hours' notice.
We are committed to safer recruitment and ensuring the welfare of those we work with, due to the nature of some of our roles, we might need to carry out a Criminal Record Check at the relevant level. You can read more information via our Website.
Giving back to you
Our employees work hard every day to make a true difference in people's lives. We are proud to support them with a range of benefits, recognition and many options for working agilely, all contributing to a strong work life balance. We also have various learning programmes to support you in your development and help you grow to realise your potential and shape a career with Alzheimer's Society.

We are proud to be a Best Companies Two-Star rated organisation, an outstanding place to work! As a Top 10 Charity, we have a range of fantastic benefits that we offer our employees, including:

Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity enables families who have a child with a life-threatening or terminal illness to make the most of their time together, providing expert practical and emotional support where they need, it for as long as it is needed. For families living with childhood illness, time is everything. Right now, there are too many families coping alone with no support, no time to think, no time to make memories and no time for each other. We believe that no family should go through this alone, so we are here to change that.

Job description
We are excited to be recruiting into our Wellbeing Coaches team for a young person’s Mental Health Coach. Our Mental Health coaches work 1:1 with young people to build resilience and develop coping strategies for improving mental health and wellbeing, offering a trauma-informed combination of practical and emotional support.
We believe each young person is unique, and benefits from a tailored approach to support - so you might spend a session exploring emotion language with one young person and then accompany another one to a GP appointment. You’ll also have opportunities to share your expertise with our colleagues by delivering training and coaching sessions for those working in our housing and support services.
This is a permanent role. We are seeking either qualified* mental health workers and/or applicants with significant and relevant experience of supporting people with mental health needs. If applying for the qualified role, please provide details of your qualification and confirm the name and contact details for the professional body/bodies you are currently registered with.
*Relevant qualification in mental health at level 5 or above, alongside significant and relevant post qualification training and experience. E.g. Mental Health Nursing Registration, Occupational Therapist or registered therapist (with post qualification experience of working and training in a CAMHS/mental health setting); Social Work qualification with approved SW status.
Please find full details of how to apply via our website in the advert below. The deadline for application submissions is 23:59, 08 September 2026.
We aim to build a more diverse workforce that reflects the young people we support, including those from migrant, refugee and asylum-seeking communities. We therefore warmly encourage applications from individuals who are currently under-represented at 1625, including people from ethnic minority backgrounds, Muslim and male candidates, and anyone with relevant lived experience..
If you need an adjustment to be made to any part of the recruitment process, please let us know as soon as possible.
Who are we?
We are a leading youth homelessness charity based in the Southwest, working with over 1,500 young people. At 1625 we are driven by Social Justice and Passion: we strive to do something that matters and take pride in seeing the results of our work in social outcomes and improving young people’s lives.
How we work
At 1625 our work is rooted in Psychologically Informed Environments (PIE) and Trauma-Informed Practice (TIP). Our Psychologically Informed Framework shapes how we build relationships, use our spaces, and support young people. This means we prioritise safety, trust, collaboration, and understanding the impact of trauma in every interaction. You don’t need prior experience in PIE or TIP to apply - we’ll support you to learn and develop these approaches in the role.
What you will be doing:
- Co-creating tailored 1:1 support for a caseload of young people experiencing mental health challenges.
- Upskilling colleagues to respond effectively to young people’s mental health needs.
- Collecting data on needs, to inform service design and future funding opportunities.
- Designing group and drop-in sessions for our high support accommodation services to raise awareness of positive mental health.
You will be in the Transitions & Resilience Team, and your line manager will be our Transitions & Resilience Service Manager.
Our Competency Development Framework sits at the heart of how we work at 1625. It links our values with the behaviours we expect to see in everyday practice and supports colleagues to learn, reflect and develop. It also means our recruitment is grounded in behaviours, not just experience, so applications, interviews and job profiles all focus on how we work, not only what we do.
If you have transferrable skills and you are interested in this role, but you are worried about the application process, please get in touch with us. We encourage you to have an informal chat with the recruiting manager to discuss how your personal or professional experience and skills could be transferred to this role. Details of how you can do that are further down in this advert.

Job description
It will take a society to beat dementia. And every successful bid helps make that possible.
At Alzheimer's Society, we believe no one should face dementia alone. Every day, our services provide vital support, information and hope to people affected by dementia.
We're looking for a talented and motivated Bid Writer to join our Partnerships and Business Development team, working 35 hours per week on a permanent basis.
This is an opportunity to use your writing skills to create meaningful change. The bids you develop could secure funding for life-changing services, strengthen support in local communities and help more people access the support they need when it matters most.
Working as part of our friendly and high-performing Bid and Tender team, you'll collaborate with colleagues from across the organisation to develop compelling tenders and funding applications that demonstrate the impact of our work and the value of our services.
This is a home based role with occasional travel across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, including some overnight stays when required (travel expenses covered).
You will use your skills to help secure the funding that enables Alzheimer's Society to support more people affected by dementia.
Working closely with colleagues across the organisation, you'll develop compelling tender submissions and funding applications, identify new opportunities and contribute to the growth and development of services that make a real difference in local communities.
Your days will be varied and meaningful. You might be...
- Writing a tender that could secure funding for a service supporting hundreds of people affected by dementia.
- Meeting with colleagues to understand the difference their service makes and translating that impact into a compelling bid response.
- Reviewing commissioning priorities and identifying opportunities to expand our reach into new communities.
- Developing service budgets with finance colleagues to ensure services remain sustainable and deliver value.
- Supporting teams to prepare for commissioner presentations and helping them tell their story with confidence.
- Building partnerships and relationships that help us reach even more people who need support.
You'll be joining a supportive, collaborative and knowledgeable team who genuinely enjoy working together. We share ideas, celebrate successes and support one another through challenges. There will be opportunities to develop your skills, broaden your experience and build your career within a national charity making a real difference.
We know that great people don't always meet every requirement on paper.
Please don't be put off from applying if your experience looks a little different. Transferable skills, potential and lived experience are important to us too. If you're excited by the role and believe you could make a positive contribution, we'd love to hear from you.
About you
You enjoy making sense of complex information and turning it into clear, compelling content that inspires confidence and action.
Whether that's developing a tender response, building a business case or shaping a funding proposal, you're someone who can see the bigger picture while keeping a close eye on the detail.
Organised and proactive, you're comfortable managing competing priorities, building strong relationships and bringing people together to achieve a shared goal.
Experience of writing bids, tenders or funding applications would be valuable, but just as important is your ability to communicate persuasively, think creatively and approach challenges with curiosity and determination.
Most importantly, you'll be motivated by the opportunity to make a difference, helping secure the funding that enables us to support more people affected by dementia.
About Us
Dementia is the UK's biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.
At Alzheimer's Society, we're the UK's leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding groundbreaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.
Together with our supporters, we're working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.
Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.
Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging
We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.
We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society.
Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy here along with our internal employee forum and Employee Lived Experience network groups help us promote inclusion and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people.

We are working hard to ensure our recruitment process is as inclusive as possible, so please do inform us of your experience and anything you think we could do better by completing our candidate survey when you apply.
To ensure fairness and consistency to select the best candidate for this role, all our applications are anonymised up until an interview has been confirmed. We recognise the benefits of AI, but if you're considering using it to submit your application, we encourage you to reflect on the value it truly adds. AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to showcase them in your own voice.
We try to avoid closing roles early where possible, however if we receive a high volume of applications, we may close earlier than the advertised closing date. Should this occur, we will aim to provide you with at least 48 hours' notice.
We are committed to safer recruitment and ensuring the welfare of those we work with, due to the nature of some of our roles, we might need to carry out a Criminal Record Check at the relevant level. You can read more information via our Website.

As a Clinical Services Matron at MSI Reproductive Choices UK, you'll have the opportunity to shape how care is delivered across your region, leading talented clinical teams, developing future leaders and ensuring every client receives safe, compassionate and exceptional care.
This is more than an operational leadership role. It's an opportunity to influence clinical excellence, inspire others and make a lasting difference to both colleagues and the people who rely on our services every day.
Lead people. Improve services. Drive change.
You'll provide leadership across multiple treatment centres, supporting Clinical Team Leaders and multidisciplinary teams to consistently deliver outstanding clinical care.
From coaching and developing colleagues to strengthening clinical governance and identifying opportunities for service improvement, you'll be trusted to create an environment where people can thrive and high-quality care is the standard, not the exception.
Working collaboratively with operational and clinical leaders, you'll help shape the future of our services while ensuring compliance, quality and client experience remain at the centre of every decision.

As Clinical Services Matron, you'll play a vital role in:

- Maintaining excellence in clinical governance and regulatory compliance.
- Supporting service innovation and quality improvement across multiple sites.

We're looking for a leader who...

You'll bring experience of leading clinical teams, a strong understanding of governance and patient safety, and the confidence to influence, support and inspire others through change.

Why Join Us?
We offer a supportive, values-driven environment where your contribution is recognised and rewarded:

This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
Job description
We're looking for a brilliant Office Manager who is highly organised, tech savvy, friendly and, above all, someone with very high standards who gets things done. You'll take real pride in making sure our offices and shared spaces are immaculately presented, professional, welcoming and running brilliantly at all times.
This isn't a role where you'll spend your day waiting for tasks to land in your inbox. We need someone proactive who notices what needs attention, finds solutions and makes things happen.
You'll build strong relationships across the organisation and with our external suppliers, making sure things are delivered on time, to a high standard and with good value for money.
About the Role
You'll take responsibility for the smooth day-to-day running of our office operations and help ensure colleagues have the environment, equipment, systems and support they need to do their jobs brilliantly.
You'll oversee office operations across our Milton Keynes and Northampton sites and act as a central point of coordination for facilities, IT support, suppliers, equipment, reception and general office administration.
This is a busy, hands-on role at the heart of YMCA South Midlands. You'll be the person who keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes: making sure our offices are organised, our systems work, our staff & visitors have what they need and problems are dealt with quickly and effectively.
No two days will be the same. One minute you might be sorting an IT issue or organising equipment for a new starter, the next you'll be coordinating a contractor, improving an office process, supporting a staff event or making sure our reception and shared spaces are running brilliantly.
We're looking for someone who loves being organised, enjoys working at pace and doesn't need to be chased. You'll naturally spot what needs doing, take ownership and follow things through to completion.
Key Responsibilities
You'll play a key role in keeping YMCA South Midlands organised, efficient and running smoothly, including:
- Overseeing the day-to-day running of our offices, ensuring they are organised, professional, welcoming and operating efficiently.
- Making sure colleagues have the equipment, workspace and resources they need to do their jobs effectively.
- Managing office equipment, IT equipment, phones, printers, stationery, furniture and other supplies.
- Maintaining accurate equipment and asset records and ensuring equipment is properly allocated and accounted for.
- Acting as the main point of contact for our external IT support provider, coordinating requests, chasing outstanding issues and escalating problems when necessary.
- Managing relationships with suppliers and contractors and making sure we receive a high-quality service and good value for money.
- Keeping on top of contracts, renewal dates, insurance administration and other important office deadlines.
- Supporting new starters by making sure their equipment, workspace and induction arrangements are ready for their first day.
- Coordinating DSE assessments and arranging appropriate equipment where required.
- Supporting Health & Safety arrangements, including Fire Marshals, First Aiders, testing, training and the Health & Safety Committee.
- Managing and maintaining our Business Continuity Plan and supporting GDPR and information security requirements.
About You
You'll be someone who genuinely loves organisation and takes pride in making things work well.
You're probably the person who notices when something isn't working and fixes it rather than walking past it. You keep track of the detail, remember deadlines, chase things when needed and don't leave jobs half finished.
You'll be comfortable juggling lots of different priorities and switching quickly between tasks without losing sight of what needs to happen.
You'll be tech savvy and confident learning new systems. You don't need to be an IT expert, but you'll be comfortable troubleshooting straightforward problems, working with external IT support and finding better ways to use technology to make our lives easier.
Just as importantly, you'll be friendly, approachable and warm. You'll deal with colleagues, residents, visitors, contractors and partners, so we want someone who enjoys building relationships and providing brilliant service.
We're looking for someone who is:
- Exceptionally organised with excellent attention to detail.
- Proactive and able to anticipate what needs doing rather than waiting to be asked.
- Someone who takes ownership and gets things done.
- Comfortable working at pace and managing competing priorities.
- Tech savvy and confident using Microsoft Office and learning new systems.
- A natural problem-solver who looks for solutions.
- Reliable and great at following things through to completion.
- Friendly, warm and approachable.
- Confident dealing with suppliers and external contractors.
- A clear and confident communicator.
- Able to work independently without needing close supervision
- Always looking for ways to make systems and processes simpler and better.
You'll ideally have previous experience as an Office Manager, Operations Manager, Executive Assistant, PA, senior administrator or in another role where you've been responsible for keeping a busy organisation running effectively. This reflects the experience requirements in the existing JD.
Experience of managing a reception function, facilities, suppliers, IT support or Health & Safety would be an advantage, but we're particularly interested in how you work: your organisation, pace, initiative, judgement and ability to make things happen.
Why Join Us?
This is a fantastic opportunity to become a central part of a busy, purpose-driven organisation.
You'll have the opportunity to:
- Make a visible difference to how our organisation operates every day.
- Create a brilliant working environment for our colleagues.
- Improve systems and introduce smarter ways of working.
- Work with people across the whole organisation.
- Take genuine ownership of your area rather than simply completing a list of tasks.
- Join a friendly, supportive team where your ideas and initiative will be welcomed.
- Work for an organisation making a meaningful difference to young people and communities.
Everyone is Welcome Here
At YMCA South Midlands, we believe everyone should feel they belong.
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences and communities. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce that reflects the people we serve and where everyone is treated with dignity, respect and fairness.
As a charity with a Christian heritage, our faith inspires our values and our commitment to serving others. We welcome people of all faiths and none. All appointments are made on merit.
Reasonable Adjustments
We want every candidate to have the opportunity to perform at their best throughout our recruitment process.
If you have a disability, long-term health condition or are neurodivergent and would benefit from any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process, please let us know when you apply or contact us at any stage. We'll be happy to discuss how we can support you.
Safer Recruitment
YMCA South Midlands is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all colleagues to share this commitment.
As part of our safer recruitment process, the successful candidate will be required to complete pre-employment checks, which will include a DBS check, verification of identity and right to work in the UK, employment references, qualification checks where applicable and other relevant pre-employment screening in line with our Safer Recruitment Policy.
Ready to Apply?
If you're highly organised, love working at pace and get satisfaction from making things happen, we'd love to hear from you.
If you're the sort of person who sees a problem and thinks "I'll sort that", rather than waiting for someone else to do it, you could be exactly who we're looking for.
