About The Role
We have an incredibly rewarding and meaningful opportunity to join us as a Community Development Coordinator with a focus on lived experience and involvement covering the whole of the Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan area. This role plays an instrumental part in building strong, trusted relationships with people affected by dementia, their families and carers within communities and diverse groups to support them to attend workshops and focus groups or community networks.
You will engage and network with people at all levels—from senior healthcare professionals to people affected by dementia and their families—helping to embed a commitment to dementia awareness and inclusivity in our communities, businesses and with stakeholders.
About You
- Confidence and ability to approach and build trusting relationships with a diverse range of organisations and individuals including unrepresented or seldom‑heard groups

- Understanding of equity, diversity and health
- Have an understanding of dementia or be keen to develop knowledge of its impact on people diagnosed and those who care for them
- Take a proactive approach and be motivated to achieve positive, meaningful outcomes
Key Responsibilities
- Actively engage with communities, facilitating and attending community events, local forums and networking opportunities to raise awareness of dementia services
- Build and maintain relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, from senior healthcare professionals to community leaders, charities and grassroots organisations
- Deliver community‑specific workshops and awareness sessions, working collaboratively with both internal colleagues and external partners
- Develop strong links with organisations delivering similar or complementary services
- Influence and motivate individuals and organisations to take action, encouraging people to work beyond their usual roles to create meaningful, long‑term change
- Gather knowledge from communities to continuously improve engagement and reduce health inequalities, including those affecting smaller or less visible groups
- Recruit and role‑manage community based volunteers
- Support and enable community members and volunteers who wish to run groups, events or activities, working alongside and empowering them to take action
- Work flexibly, including some evening and weekend work, to meet community needs and attend events
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or 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—whether as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support—to feel included and belong at Alzheimer’s Society.
