This is a new post within the Argyll and Bute HSCP and is included in a major redesign of service that has seen the development of the community mental health teams throughout the area.

The enhanced community dementia service is in the process of redesign with the drive to provide a consistent service throughout Argyll and Bute.
The post is for 10 programmed activities (sessions) per week (8.5:1.5 clinical: CPD) and the post holder will be welcomed into a friendly and forward thinking team of consultants where peer support is valued and protected.
