Dementia Concern is a long-established local charity providing life changing care and support to people living with dementia and their families across West London.

Our mission is simple and vital: to help people live well with dementia, and to ensure that no one faces it alone.

We are entering an exciting new phase. After several years without a dedicated fundraising department, we are ready to rebuild and strengthen our income base, reconnect with the community we serve, and create sustainable funding for the future. This role will be central to that transformation, shaping how we tell our story, engage supporters, and grow our impact.

We’re looking for a Head of Fundraising, someone who can design, develop and deliver our fundraising stratergy. Someone who can innovate and who can combine stratergy, can lean in and has energy to connect with people, and who sees potential everywhere. If you’re motivated by the challenge of shaping something lasting and meaningful, this role offers the chance to make a visible difference, both to the charity and to the lives of people living with dementia.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you will have both the freedom and responsibility to build a thriving, sustainable fundraising function, securing income initially from trusts and foundations and then corporates, philanthropists, individuals, and community supporters.

You will play a key hands-on role, supported by a fundraiser, volunteers, and an experienced and engaged CEO and Board.

Key Responsibilities:

Strategy and Leadership

• Develop and deliver a clear fundraising strategy that diversifies income and builds long-term sustainability.
• Inspire a culture of fundraising across the organisation, empowering staff, volunteers, and trustees to become confident advocates and ambassadors.
• Use the compelling stories of our frontline team and clients to engage, motivate, and retain supporters.

Trusts, Foundations and Corporate Giving

• Lead the development of high-quality, strategic funding applications to trusts, foundations, and corporate partners (typically £20k+).
• Build and manage a sustainable pipeline of prospects, ensuring timely applications and stewardship.
• Line-manage and mentor the newly appointed Trust Fundraiser, supporting their development and success.

Individual Giving and Appeals

• Refresh and strengthen Dementia Concern’s case for support, ensuring a consistent, powerful message across all audiences.
• Design and deliver the charity’s first major appeals — including digital campaigns, local community drives, and postal appeals — to attract and retain individual donors.
• Develop engaging donor journeys and opportunities for people to give regularly, locally, and meaningfully.

Community and Partnership Development

• Reconnect Dementia Concern with its local community through relationship-building, events, and partnerships.
• Represent the charity externally with warmth and confidence, growing our network of local supporters, volunteers, and champions.
• Work closely with the CEO and Trustees to build mutually beneficial partnerships with local businesses, groups, and influencers.
• Oversee the charity’s website and digital presence, ensuring our communications are clear, inspiring, and supporter focussed.
• Lead on campaigns and public relations that raise awareness of dementia and the charity’s impact in West London.

About you:

You will have experience in:

• Trust Fundraising and at least one of the following: corporate partnerships, individual giving, or community fundraising.
• Proven ability to develop and deliver successful fundraising strategies.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, able to craft compelling cases for support and inspire others.
• A collaborative, ‘hands-on’ approach comfortable working in a small, dedicated team.
• Strong organisational and project management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities.
• Passion for dementia care and improving the lives of older people and their carers.
• Experience of working in a local or regional charity setting.
• Knowledge of Ealing and/or West London communities. (desirable)
