About MHA

Methodist Homes (MHA) is the largest charity care provider in the U.K. We have more than 76 years' experience of delivering care and support to over 18,500 older people. We understand what it takes to help people live later life well through our Care homes, Retirement schemes and MHA Communities.

There are currently over 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK, and this is expected to increase to 1 million by 2025, and 1.4 million by 2040. In response to this, Dementia UK provides specialist dementia support for families through our Admiral Nurse service. When things get challenging or difficult for people with dementia and their families, Admiral Nurses work alongside them, giving the one-to-one support, expert guidance and practical solutions that people need.

The charity has seen significant income growth over the past five years, and we have ambitious plans to maintain this growth so we can significantly increase the number of Admiral Nurses, and the specialist support they provide.

You would be joining a passionate team at an exciting time, as events and community fundraising will play an important part of this growth, making up over a third of the charity’s income next financial year. Although events and community activity was hit hard by the pandemic, we adapted quickly to seize opportunities and test new propositions, and in the last year have achieved far more than we thought possible.

We are now looking for a results-driven fundraiser with strong attention to detail and a creative flair to deliver our flagship fundraising event – Time for a Cuppa, as well as support on insight-led product development cycles. You’ll be a strong collaborator who thrives in a busy, fast-paced environment.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. Please see the job description for more details.

Please note, only applications including both a CV and completed application questions will be considered. We do not require a covering letter for this role.

Interviews are scheduled for Monday 22nd of March.
