  • Specialized knowledge or experience in dementia care.
  • Strong understanding of aging services, caregiving systems, and community resources.
  • Excellent communication, organization, and relationship-building skills.
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a mission-driven, team-based environment.

Preferred Experience

  • Care navigation, case management, or caregiver support experience.
  • Dementia-specific training or certification (preferred, not required).
  • Group facilitation or adult education experience.
  • Experience in healthcare, nonprofit, or community-based aging services.
