There are currently over 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK, and this is expected to increase to 1 million by 2021, and 2 million by 2050.
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 unique dementia expertise and experience an Admiral Nurse brings is a lifeline – it helps everyone in the family to live more positively with dementia in the present, and to face the challenges of tomorrow with more confidence and less fear.
The charity has seen significant income growth over the past four years (income has doubled to almost £10 million), 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.
Philanthropy fundraising will play a key part in this expansion and presents a huge opportunity for growth. The Head of Philanthropy & Partnerships joined Dementia UK in summer 2019 to bring together fundraising from corporate partners and charitable trusts, and to develop a philanthropy programme. The groundwork for this programme has now been done; we have a pool of warm prospects, an engaged events committee, and good connections to high net worth networks across the City and beyond. We now need an experienced Philanthropy Manager to build on and grow these foundations. There is a clear appetite for philanthropy fundraising across all levels of the charity, and the chosen candidate will have both support and independence to raise significant income through major gifts.
Our five-year organisational strategy launches in April 2020, giving us a clear, ambitious vision of the leading role Dementia UK will play in supporting families facing dementia. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to really make their mark on a charity and make a real, tangible difference to the experiences of those living with dementia.
For further information please see attached job description.
Please note only applications including a CV and covering letter will be considered.

About us. Pilgrims’ Friend Society’s vision is to have a significant evangelical Christian impact alongside churches in all of those communities where we operate and to grow in response to accelerating gospel need as our population ages. We are a leading Christian provider of residential, dementia care and housing for older people, tracing our history back to Wilberforce, Shaftesbury and Spurgeon. With 15 schemes throughout England, caring for around 450 people, we also provide resources such as books, other publications, conferences and seminars on Christian perspectives on caring for older people.
About the role: Pilgrim’s Friends Society has ambitious plans to grow over the next few years and we are looking for a Director of Finance who can help us achieve those ambitions. Working as a key part of the Executive Leadership Team, you will use your experience and commercial acumen to lead the charity through the financial challenges of investing in our Renewal Programme designed to build 6 new homes over the next twelve years to replace smaller and older operations whilst overseeing the day to day financial management of the charity.
About you: You will be an experienced finance professional looking for their next big challenge with experience of working in an organisation of similar scale or larger to PFS (500 staff and £11m turnover) and within a growth environment. Given our expansion plans, knowledge of (or capacity to develop knowledge of) charitable and social investment fundraising is key and knowledge of funding sources such as bank and social investment is highly desirable.
