Director of Finance 

Dementia UK 
Salary: £100,000–£110,000, plus benefits 
Location: Hybrid, with travel to the London office in Aldgate 

Dementia is both the UK’s biggest health crisis and the country’s leading cause of death. For too many people, it brings fear, exhaustion and uncertainty – and families are often left without the specialist support they need to cope. 

In the UK, there are already over one million people living with dementia, and this will increase to 1.4 million by 2040. 

Dementia UK is a values-driven charity, providing specialist dementia support and advice for families through our Admiral Nurse services. Our nurses help people living with dementia stay independent for longer, and support the people caring for them so they have the strength to cope with the bad days, and the energy to enjoy the good days. 

Over the last five years we have significantly expanded our services, grown our income, and increased our national profile. Our new strategy sets out an ambitious vision: to support more families, influence more change, and inform more people – enabled by a culture that inspires, empowers, and drives effectiveness. 

We value our people, and creating a workplace where colleagues can thrive is central to our success. That culture has been recognised with our recent award as The Sunday Times Best Place to Work 2025 in the charities and not-for-profit (large organisation) category. 

The role 

This is an exciting time to join Dementia UK. Over the past twelve years, the charity has grown from 24 to over 300 staff, from £1m to a £31m turnover, and from 84 to 479 Admiral Nurses. Continuing to increase the number of Admiral Nurses remains at the heart of our new strategy, and the Director of Finance will be pivotal in ensuring this growth is sustainable, strategic, and impactful. 

As a key member of the Executive Team, you will work closely with the CEO, Executive colleagues, and the Board of Trustees. Leading a talented team, you will: 

• Shape and lead financial strategy to support sustainable organisational growth 

• Provide clear, strategic advice to the Executive Team and Board to enable robust decision-making 

• Ensure long-term financial sustainability through strong governance, risk management, and compliance 

• Drive innovation in financial systems and processes, supporting digital transformation and data-driven decision making 

• Develop a high-performing finance team, nurturing leadership capability and building resilience for the future 

About you 

We are seeking a senior finance leader who brings: 

• Professional accountancy qualification (CIMA, ACCA, ACA or equivalent) 

• A proven track record of shaping financial strategy in a growing or complex organisation, ideally within the Charity sector 

• Evidence of influencing and partnering at Board and Executive level 

• Experience of leading high-performing teams and developing senior leaders 

• A collaborative, values-driven approach, with a strong commitment to Dementia UK’s vision, mission and values. 

Inclusion and Wellbeing 

Dementia UK is proud to welcome everyone. We are committed to creating an inclusive culture where diversity of thought, experience and identity is valued. We know that bringing together people with different perspectives and skills makes us stronger as an organisation, and we encourage everyone to join us and be their whole selves.

Help Men Begin Their Path to Recovery

We are looking for a compassionate and organised Referrals Practitioner to join our team and play a vital role in welcoming new residents into recovery. For this recruitment cycle, we particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of recovery and/or the criminal justice system, as well as those from underrepresented ethnic groups and diverse socio-economic backgrounds.

This is a full-time permanent role, offering you the opportunity to make a direct impact at the very start of a man’s recovery journey. You’ll be joining a supportive, committed team and working in an environment that values honesty, empowerment, and respect.

• Experienced in working with vulnerable adults in recovery, the criminal justice system, or related fields (paid, voluntary, or lived)
• Skilled in communication, with the ability to build trust and rapport with residents, partners, and colleagues

Belief – We believe in everyone’s potential for positive change

Respect – We value each other’s choices and differences

Kindness – We show empathy through our actions

Honesty – We build trust through integrity

Empowerment – We help each other find our own purpose

What You Can Expect from Us

• A 35-hour working week (Monday to Friday)
• 25 days annual leave, plus Bank Holidays
• Contributory pension scheme (Nehemiah contributes 3% of salary)
• Staff Health Plan including insurance and wellbeing package
• Ongoing training, reflective practice, and professional development opportunities
• A culture that is supportive, honest, and committed to lasting change

Why Nehemiah?

• Work in a charity that values lived experience and diverse perspectives
• Be part of a passionate and talented team committed to helping men build new futures
• Experience a workplace culture that values innovation, inclusivity, and best practice

Application Process

• Initial 30-minute video call with a member of our recruiting team
• In-person interview (45 mins–1 hr) with relevant managers
• Candidate presentation on a set topic (you’ll receive this in advance)
