We have opportunities for compassionate and committed individuals to join us as Support Workers at our soon-to-be refurbished dementia assessment unit at Briarwood Nursing Home in Blaydon.


Our assessment unit supports older adults with a diagnosis of dementia or dementia like symptoms, who are experiencing behaviours that challenge.

Our team of experienced Staff Nurses and Support Workers assess individuals with differing diagnoses of dementia such as early onset Alzheimers disease, Korsakoffs dementia and vascular dementia.


The assessment process is usually 12 weeks, with the team working closely with the individual, their families and carers, and other professionals involved in their care.

The unit is fast paced but highly rewarding, determining the level of need an individual requires whatever stage they are at, in their dementia journey.
