Express your interest to join our team – Support Worker Opportunities
At Younger People With Dementia (YPWD), we walk alongside people living with young onset dementia and their families. Our Support Workers play a vital role in helping people stay connected, independent and supported at a time of life when dementia isn’t expected.
We are not always recruiting for support workers at a given time, but we are always keen to hear from people who share our values and would like to be part of our organisation. By expressing your interest, you give us permission to hold your details securely so that we can contact you directly if and when a suitable opportunity arises.
What makes this role special?
- Supporting people diagnosed with dementia under the age of 65 – often still working, parenting and leading active lives
- You’ll facilitate inclusive, accessible activities, from singing and art to walking and workshops that build connection, confidence and wellbeing
- Working alongside a team who believe in seeing the person first, not the diagnosis
What we look for:
- A caring, compassionate nature and a genuine interest in supporting people
- Good communication skills and a positive, flexible approach
- This role requires initiative, adaptability and a strong sense of empathy
- You don’t need prior dementia care experience, but if you have it, great! Most of all, you just need the heart for it
- You’re based in Berkshire or Surrey Borders (and nearby area) and can travel.A full UK driving licence and roadworthy vehicle insured for business use are required
If this sounds like you, we’d love you to register your interest with us. Just send us an updated copy of your CV with a cover letter highlighting why this role appeals to you and why you feel you would be suited to the role. This should be sent to Julie.vernon@ypwd.info .We’ll keep your information safely on file and will be in touch as soon as a suitable opportunity comes up.
Your privacy matters
By sharing your details with us, you give permission for YPWD to hold your information securely, in line with UK GDPR and data protection law. We’ll only use it to contact you about potential support worker roles with us and you can ask us to remove your details at any time.
Come and be part of something meaningful. Together, we can change lives.
