Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nursing charity that is there for the whole family. Our specialist nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, provide free, expert advice, support and understanding to help families care for their loved one. Every day, Admiral Nurses help families up and down the country to have the best life possible for as long as possible.
Purpose of the job/About the role
At Dementia UK we are looking towards the future of our organisation through our people development, and this newly created role provides an exciting opportunity for the right individual to be part of our longer-term growth journey and people ambitions. We have recently reshaped our structure to align with our strategic growth objectives.
In providing strategic leadership in both organisational and people management capacities, you will oversee the implementation of our people strategy. Your responsibilities will include leading the People Team to modernise our processes and infrastructure, empowering leaders and managers to drive high performance within their respective areas. Additionally, you will ensure the delivery of high-quality, organization-focused, and person-centred employee life cycle services.
As a successful candidate, you will be a Chartered Member of the CIPD, possessing extensive knowledge and experience in managing complex employee relations matters and change programmes. You will have a proven track record of effectively leading HR/People teams, demonstrating tact, diplomacy, and discretion in handling confidential and sensitive information. Ideally you will have extensive experience in Organisational Development/HR within a relevant setting, with a demonstrated ability to develop and implement policies and strategies that drive organisational success.
If you are a strategic thinker with a passion for empowering teams and driving organisational growth through effective people management, join us in making a difference in the lives of those affected by dementia.

It’s important for us to create a working environment that looks after our workforce to achieve their full potential.

We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated communications professional to increase the visibility of our charity, expand our audiences and strengthen engagement across our digital platforms.
In this varied position, you’ll lead our communications team and play a key role in raising awareness of our work to advance the quality of veterinary care for the benefit of animals, the public and society.
You will be a great communications all-rounder, with a deep understanding of what makes engaging content and experience of increasing reach and engagement through powerful story-telling and creative digital marketing campaigns. With a website re-development on the horizon, you will be comfortable leading the management of digital agencies and excited about the opportunity to make a step-change in our digital presence.
You will have a good track record of managing people, with the ability to bring together and develop a team of multi-skilled communications and digital professionals to deliver stand-out communications and marketing campaigns. As a member of our senior team, you’ll contribute to strategic discussions that shape the broader development of the charity, as well as being responsible for monitoring and achieving team targets and preparing reports for our board. You’ll also play an important role in using effective communications and marketing to drive fund-raising and other forms of income generation.
Working as part of a dynamic organisation of about 20 people, you’ll need to flex seamlessly from developing the strategic big picture to rolling up your sleeves to help deliver content, digital resources, and campaigns. While experience of the veterinary sector or human healthcare gives you a head start, it’s not a requirement and we’d love to receive applications from people completely new to the sector – most important is a commitment to learn rapidly about the veterinary professions and to develop a good understanding of different stakeholder needs.

We champion the use of evidence-based veterinary medicine in veterinary practice, and we provide practical tools, resources and education to the veterinary professions.

Our vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease and for more than 60 years the research we fund has been making an impact.

Most importantly, we also work closely with patients, ensuring their voice is heard and is at the centre of everything we do, from deciding which research to invest in to how we plan our priorities and our work across the charity.
Those patient contributions are vital, always helping us and our partners to understand what life is like with kidney disease, always ensuring we see the patient behind the treatment and always reminding us that behind every statistic and every number is a person – the patients and the carers who inspire our mission and push us forward to make a difference and change the future of kidney disease.
