At Dementia UK, we make sure families affected by dementia don’t face it alone. Through our specialist Admiral Nurses, we provide expert, compassionate support when it’s needed most. As we continue to grow our services and national influence, our technology capability must evolve with us.

We are looking for a Deputy Director of Technology and Digital Transformation to lead the next phase of that evolution.

You will identify where automation, AI and smarter system design can drive measurable productivity gains, reduce manual dependency and strengthen data-driven decision-making.

You will lead and develop a high-performing multidisciplinary team, embedding a culture of accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement. You will balance operational rigour with forward-looking digital capability, ensuring we remain proportionate, responsible and competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape.

 We are seeking a senior technology leader who has successfully balanced operational stability with digital transformation in a complex organisation. You will bring experience in developing and delivering technology strategy, modernising legacy environments and driving productivity through smarter use of systems, automation and responsible AI.

You will have strong expertise in infrastructure, cyber security and data protection, alongside commercial awareness and experience managing budgets and suppliers. Just as importantly, you will be able to influence senior stakeholders, develop technical talent and translate complex ideas into practical action.

Most importantly, you will see technology as a force multiplier for mission impact. If you want to shape how a growing national charity uses digital capability to strengthen its reach and effectiveness, we would love to hear from you.

We would love to hear from you! If you would like to find out more about the role, or have any queries, please get in touch via the email on our website.
