There are currently over 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK, and this is expected to increase to 1 million by 2025, and 1.4 million by 2040. 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 charity has seen significant income growth over the past five years, 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.
You would be joining a passionate team at an exciting time, as events and community fundraising will play an important part of this growth, making up over a third of the charity’s income next financial year. Although events and community activity was hit hard by the pandemic, we adapted quickly to seize opportunities and test new propositions, and in the last year have achieved far more than we thought possible.
We are now looking for a results-driven fundraiser with strong attention to detail and a creative flair to deliver our flagship fundraising event – Time for a Cuppa, as well as support on insight-led product development cycles. You’ll be a strong collaborator who thrives in a busy, fast-paced environment.
If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. Please see the job description for more details.
Please note, only applications including both a CV and completed application questions will be considered. We do not require a covering letter for this role.
Interviews are scheduled for Monday 22nd of March.

Salary range: £25,000 to £35,000 depending on experience
Contract: Permanent
School-Home Support gets children and young people into school, ready to learn. We have been working for over 30 years, with children, families and schools to break the long-term cycle of deprivation. What starts as poor school attendance can become low educational attainment, anti social behaviour, crime, low paid or no job - generation after generation. SHS makes a real difference and we are passionate about the role education plays in improving life chances for disadvantaged children and young people.
The fundraising team at SHS is small and hard working. Our contribution this year will be over £2.5 million to the charity. Trusts and Foundations should account for approximately £1.5m of this. COVID-19 has put education and related inequalities squarely on the agenda. Our services are never more needed and we need to further increase income to support more children and families. Building on recent Trusts and Foundations fundraising successes we are now looking for a confident, enthusiastic and focused individual to join our friendly team. The role will suit someone who is looking to make an impact and who can build on School-Home Support's solid reputation to grow our income from Trusts.
The post is expected to be home based initially, moving to our Stratford office when restrictions allow. Our office in Stratford is a 10 minute walk from the station and well served with both underground and mainline trains, including Stratford International, Jubilee and Central line tubes, Overground and DLR.
