Working across Berkshire, Surrey Heath, Farnham & North-East Hampshire
If your idea of a great day at work involves leading a walk in the countryside, singing with a group, trying a new activity, supporting someone to regain confidence and finishing the day knowing you've genuinely made a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
At Younger People with Dementia (YPWD), we support adults diagnosed with young onset dementia (diagnosed under the age of 65) to remain active, connected and independent through meaningful activities, one-to-one support and community programmes.
This isn't a personal care role. It's about helping people continue to live well, enjoy life and do the things that matter most to them.
What You'll Do
As part of our friendly and supportive team, you'll help deliver a wide range of engaging activities, from art, walking and singing to katakanuing, reader groups and community outings. You'll also provide one-to-one support, help plan future sessions and complete the records that enable us to deliver safe, high-quality services.
No two days are the same, and we're looking for someone who enjoys variety, uses their initiative and loves helping others have fun.
About You
We're looking for someone who:
You don't need to be an expert in dementia, we can teach that. What matters most is your attitude, your values and your willingness to learn.
The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here
At YPWD, our values are Inclusive, Supportive, Enabling and Innovative. They're not just words on a wall, they shape how we work every day.
We work hard, laugh often, support each other and leave egos at the door. We value people who are kind, humble and willing to roll up their sleeves when needed. We communicate openly, celebrate each other's successes and focus on finding solutions rather than blame.
If you're someone who enjoys being part of a team, brings a positive attitude and wants to make a genuine difference, you'll fit right in.
If you're looking for workplace politics, unnecessary drama or somewhere to simply 'do your hours', we're probably not the right organisation for you. If you're looking for meaningful work with great people, we'd love to hear from you.

Who we are:
Hope is here.The Global Returns Project (GRP) is a UK charity unlocking new philanthropy to deliver urgent solutions for our planet.
We are a fast-moving nonprofit that makes donations to high-impact nature and climate charities simple – and we don’t take any fees. We’ve already mobilised £3 million for top environmental solutions and are working to unlock at least £30 million annually by the end of the decade.
We are growing quickly: Last year's annual fundraising was nearly triple the previous year.
The problem: Charities protecting our planet can turn the tide on climate change and nature loss. They have the skills, strategies and networks to deliver fast and global impact. But less than 2% of philanthropy goes to climate mitigation.
Our solution: In the UK alone, around £2 trillion sits with “HNW+” individuals – those holding between £100k and £30 million. Yet traditional philanthropy largely overlooks them. We’re unlocking this funding by offering trusted, pro bono advice and a simple, portfolio approach to giving. Our expertise in UK wealth advice offers a unique path to scalability and systems-change.
What we are looking for:
Job title: Impact and Communications Officer
We're looking for a curious and capable Impact and Communications Officer to help us find, assess, report on and support some of the world’s highest impact climate and nature charities.
Internally, you will play a critical role in supporting the research on charities within our portfolio that our Due Diligence Committee oversees – helping develop our methodology and feeding into charity selection and assessment projects. You’ll help write impact reports and coordinate webinars for our network about our charities. You’ll also manage, update and clean leads in our CRM (Beacon), and support month-end financial processing.
Externally, you will produce much of the Global Returns Project’s communications content, telling compelling stories about cutting-edge environmental projects. You’ll assist with scheduling and sending our newsletters, keeping our website up-to-date, and editing video content. As we generate support for our portfolio via public campaigns and match-funding initiatives, you’ll help coordinate these efforts in line with the strategy set by the wider team.
You will thrive in a small, fast-moving team – taking initiative, being collaborative, and contributing to shared goals. Crucially, you'll care deeply about climate and nature.
Professional experience preferred: Some professional experience in marketing and communications (as a guide, likely 1-3 years).
Please see the full job description attached for information on skills required and main duties and responsibilities.
Location: Centrally located, light and airy office on Regent Street, London. Hybrid working: estimated 3-4 days per week in the office.
Benefits: 25 days’ annual leave, plus statutory bank holidays. Occasional 1–2 days’ additional paid leave over the Christmas period. Flexible working.
Reports to: Kiki Shahida, Impact Officer
Preferred start date: 7 September 2026
Applicants should apply via CharityJob with both a CV and cover letter addressed to the CEO, Jack Chellman. Applications without a cover letter will not be considered. Please include the name, email and phone number of a reference we can contact.
