MindRelief365 | International Facilitator Dementia Therapy CST - Paid Position
What if just one hour of your time could become the highlight of someone else's week, and one of the most rewarding hours of yours?
At MindRelief365, we provide online Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), which uses conversation, discussion and enjoyable activities to help keep minds active. Research has shown that group CST can improve thinking abilities and quality of life for people living with mild to moderate dementia.
Alongside CST activities, we explore topics and shared learning that are personally interesting and meaningful to each individual, adapting our conversations and activities to suit their abilities, experiences and needs.
Above all, we focus on what each person can still do, encouraging confidence, enjoyment and meaningful participation, and building on their existing abilities over time.
Our sessions are delivered online, allowing people to participate from the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. They also provide an opportunity for family carers to enjoy some much-needed respite while their loved one is engaged in an enjoyable and stimulating session.
And we know these moments matter. Some of our clients have been with us for over two years and still look forward to spending time with their facilitators.
Following discussions with NHS mental health services, MindRelief365 is now receiving referrals from NHS professionals, helping us reach more individuals and families seeking personalised cognitive support.
Could You Become a MindRelief365 Facilitator?
We are looking for warm, positive, curious and reliable people who enjoy conversation, sharing ideas, learning new things and making others smile.
Whether you have limited availability or are looking for a more substantial commitment, we would love to hear from you.
You might be a homemaker, teacher, engineer, healthcare professional, scientist, retired professional or someone from an entirely different walk of life. We believe that people from all backgrounds bring valuable knowledge, experiences, interests and perspectives that can enrich the conversations and activities we share with our clients.
Training and Support
No previous dementia-care or CST experience is required. We provide comprehensive, structured training, practical assessment and ongoing support to help you develop the skills and confidence to deliver engaging, personalised online sessions.

You should feel comfortable engaging in conversation, sharing ideas and being spontaneous, whether that means exploring an interesting topic, sharing a laugh or even singing a familiar song together if the client wishes. You should also be comfortable using technology, willing to develop new digital skills and committed to providing a reliable, professional and enjoyable experience for the people you work with.
