STAND Facilitator - Dementia Friendly Meeting

Centre Spaces (DFMCS) 

• 12 hours per week 
• £26,000 pro rata 
• 1‑year fixed term  
• Locations: three weekly groups within 10 miles of Kirkcaldy 

Make a real difference to people living with dementia and their families. 

STAND is a Fife charity led by people with lived experience of dementia. We believe that life doesn’t stop with a diagnosis — people can continue to grow, connect and enjoy new experiences. Our Dementia Friendly Meeting Centre Spaces (DFMCS) offer friendship, peer support, meaningful activity and a warm welcome to anyone living with dementia and those who support them. 

We’re looking for a compassionate, creative Facilitator to help run three of our weekly groups. Each group meets for two hours and offers a mix of social connection, conversation, shared learning and fun. You’ll help create a relaxed, supportive environment where people feel valued and included. 

What you’ll do 

• Welcome and support people living with dementia and their families 
• Plan and deliver enjoyable, therapeutic activities 
• Build relationships and encourage peer support 
• Work alongside volunteers and other facilitators 
• Help shape the development of our Meeting Centre Spaces 

What we’re looking for 

You don’t need to be a dementia specialist — we value empathy, good communication, reliability and a genuine interest in people. Experience in community work, care, group facilitation or volunteering is helpful but not essential. 

What we offer 

• A supportive, lived‑experience‑led organisation 
• Training and ongoing supervision 
• Flexible planning time from home 
• The chance to make a meaningful difference every week 

How to apply 

Apply by application form (CVs not accepted) to admin@standinfife.org by Monday 22 June at 12pm. Interviews will take place week commencing 29 June.  

If you’d like an informal chat about the role, please contact coordinator@standinfife.org — we’d love to hear from you.
