The Alzheimer's Society
Policy Officer Health and Integration
The Alzheimer's Society
Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading dementia charity. We provide information and support, improve care, fund research, and create lasting change for people affected by dementia. Policy Officer (Health and Integration) Responsibilities: Because of the lack of a cure, people with dementia rely on the health service for their care from diagnosis to end-of-life, to help them live well with the condition. We are looking for a skilled individual to play a central role in Alzheimer's Society's influencing efforts. We seek to achieve reform that enables people to live their lives the way they choose, in the places they call home, and in communities where we care about and support one another. We know that people and their carers often can feel unsupported by the health service or are left falling between gaps as their condition worsens and they need to transition from community care to hospital care and then onto end-of-life support. With the health and care bill expected to be made statute from April 2022, there are new opportunities to improve the integration and quality of care for those living with dementia. We need someone keen to take the opportunity to be at the centre of our public engagement response and influencing activity.

Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading dementia charity. We provide information and support, improve care, fund research, and create lasting change for people affected by dementia. Policy Officer (Health and Integration) Responsibilities: Because of the lack of a cure, people with dementia rely on the health service for their care from diagnosis to end-of-life, to help them live well with the condition. We are looking for a skilled individual to play a central role in Alzheimer's Society's influencing efforts. We seek to achieve reform that enables people to live their lives the way they choose, in the places they call home, and in communities where we care about and support one another. We know that people and their carers often can feel unsupported by the health service or are left falling between gaps as their condition worsens and they need to transition from community care to hospital care and then onto end-of-life support.
