Jewish Care

Qualitative Research Volunteer - ‘Singing for Memory’ - Dementia Community Programme

Jewish Care’s Singing for Memory groups provide a stimulating and friendly social environment, bringing together people who live with conditions affecting memory and their carers. The groups are not just an enjoyable activity; it’s a way for people to express themselves and socialise in a fun and supportive group. This all helps to build on the preserved memory for song and music. We are looking to conduct an evaluation of this programme so that we can gather evidence on the impact of the groups and understand how we can improve people’s experiences. This role will involve supporting Music Therapists with participant observation, conducting one to one interviews with carers, and contributing to the analysis and reporting of findings. The volunteer and the work carried out as part of this interesting and enjoyable project will provide crucial support at a time where we continue to develop our ‘Singing for Memory’ groups, which form part of the Dementia Community Programme. The time commitment is the weekly attendance of one Singing for Memory group (2 hours) which runs at fixed times / days, plus approximately 6 hours further for analysis and reporting, with flexible arrangements for this. This project is expected to span 3 – 4 months but there is possible further opportunity for involvement with dementia support groups, or other similar evaluation roles within Jewish Care.
