Are you determined to make a positive impact by shifting paradigms for people living with dementia?
Do you want to join the VDT team as we commence providing the VDT to family members, services and the general community in Australia as Churches of Christ has exclusively secured the Australian VDT licence?
About the role
The Virtual Dementia Tour® (VDT®) is scientifically proven to be the closest we can give a person with a healthy brain an experience of what dementia might be like. In your role as Certified Trainer, you will be guiding participants through a simulation fitted with patented devices that alter their senses through common everyday tasks and exercises. This role requires a passionate and committed individual and will provide opportunities to travel and engage with diverse communities.
What fuels our team and vision, is truly making a difference through assisting participants to understand dementia from the person's point of view, improving acceptance and positive responses to people living with dementia and their families. While experience and qualifications are essential, the people we seek for our dynamic team need to be equally passionate, enthusiastic and have a genuine ambition to create nationwide culture change, through continuing growth in innovative education and awareness raising in dementia care. Sound like you?
