Personal qualities

Creating a world without dementia requires strong leadership; so you’ll see yourself as a leader in the making!  You’ll be keen to learn, innovate and share your views in inspiring ways.  You’ll equally be keen to learn from others and to translate that learning into your work. So if you have a desire to make a difference and would relish the chance to stretch yourself, then this is the opportunity for you.
