At Dementia UK, we make sure families affected by dementia don’t face it alone. Through our specialist Admiral Nurses, we provide expert, compassionate support when it’s needed most. As we continue to grow our services and national influence, our technology capability must evolve with us.
We are looking for a Deputy Director of Technology and Digital Transformation to lead the next phase of that evolution.
This is not a traditional IT operations role. While operational stability and security are fundamental, this position is about shaping how technology enables the whole organisation to work smarter, move faster and deliver greater impact.
You will lead the development and delivery of our Technology and Digital Strategy, ensuring core systems remain secure, resilient and well governed, while progressively modernising our digital operating model. You will identify where automation, AI and smarter system design can drive measurable productivity gains, reduce manual dependency and strengthen data-driven decision-making.
Technology under your leadership will operate as a proactive partner to directorates, improving processes, strengthening insight and enabling innovation, rather than functioning solely as a reactive support service.
You will lead and develop a high-performing multidisciplinary team, embedding a culture of accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement. You will balance operational rigour with forward-looking digital capability, ensuring we remain proportionate, responsible and competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape.
We are seeking a senior technology leader who has successfully balanced operational stability with digital transformation in a complex organisation. You will bring experience in developing and delivering technology strategy, modernising legacy environments and driving productivity through smarter use of systems, automation and responsible AI.
You will have strong expertise in infrastructure, cyber security and data protection, alongside commercial awareness and experience managing budgets and suppliers. Just as importantly, you will be able to influence senior stakeholders, develop technical talent and translate complex ideas into practical action.
Most importantly, you will see technology as a force multiplier for mission impact. If you want to shape how a growing national charity uses digital capability to strengthen its reach and effectiveness, we would love to hear from you.
We would love to hear from you! If you would like to find out more about the role, or have any queries, please get in touch via the email on our website.
Our culture
In addition to offering a competitive salary and a generous benefits package, we truly value our people. It’s important for us to create a workplace culture that looks after our people to support them in achieving their full potential. You will become part of a diverse and dedicated team who are supported to use and develop their skills. We recognise and value the key role you will play in delivering our strategic plans for the benefit of those living with dementia.

Our supportive and nurturing workplace culture has recently earnt us recognition as the Sunday Times Best Place to Work in the non-profit and charities sector 2025 (big organisation).
