About The Role
Every day, people affected by dementia face questions about what’s next. For many, taking part in clinical research offers hope, purpose, and a chance to shape the future of dementia care. But finding the right trial, understanding what it involves, and knowing how to take part can be confusing.
At Alzheimer’s Society, we are committed to breaking down these barriers. The Alzheimer’s Society UK Dementia Trials Network (UKDTN) Trial Finder is an open-access platform that connects people living with mild cognitive impairment or dementia, their families, and healthcare professionals, with research opportunities across the UK. It empowers people to make informed decisions about taking part in clinical trials, wherever they live.
We are looking for a Clinical Trial Finder Officer who can ensure this platform is accurate, accessible, and meaningful. By raising awareness of, and widening access to, clinical trial opportunities, your work will help more people to take part in clinical trials and feel more in control of their journey.
You will work closely with colleagues across the Alzheimer’s Society UKDTN Research Nurse Programme, Research Communications team, Data and Digital teams, Participation team, and with a range of external partners to maintain the Trial Finder, respond to enquiries, and ensure that the platform is reliable, culturally informed and inclusive. Your attention to detail, organisational skills, and passion for supporting people affected by dementia will help make a tangible difference in people’s lives.
About the role

- Oversee the day-to-day operation of the Trial Finder, keeping it reliable, user-friendly, and up-to-date.
- Maintain accurate, accessible, and approved study listings, ensuring clarity for all users.
- Implement and manage quality control processes, including version control, audit trails, and regular review of trial entries.
- Monitor user feedback and enquiries, resolving gaps and escalating technical issues while driving continuous improvement based on insights.
- Liaise with clinicians, NHS teams, study sponsors, and external stakeholders to verify trial details and maintain accurate contact and site information.
- Work collaboratively across Alzheimer’s Society teams, UKDTN patient workstream and wider dementia research stakeholders to coordinate updates, maintain consistency, and respond to queries.
- Track, report, and analyse key metrics on Trial Finder usage, reach, and impact, and support wider communications activity.
- Ensure compliance with ethical, governance, and accessibility standards, embedding inclusion by design.

About you

- You have experience managing public-facing research databases, platforms, or similar systems, and are committed to making information clear, accurate, and accessible for everyone.
- You are organised and confident in balancing multiple priorities, while ensuring your work is thorough, reliable, and inclusive.
- You build positive, collaborative relationships with colleagues and partners, actively listening to, and valuing, different perspectives and experiences.
- You communicate with empathy and sensitivity, supporting people affected by dementia, their families, and carers in ways that are respectful and inclusive.
- You are driven by purpose, embrace inclusion in all aspects of your work, and are passionate about helping more people access and engage with dementia research.

This role is more than coordination; it’s about creating meaningful access to research opportunities. You will make information approachable, break down barriers, and help people engage with clinical trials that could change lives.
You’ll join a collaborative, supportive environment that values inclusion, continuous learning, and making a tangible difference. Your skills will directly support people living with dementia and their families, and you’ll play a key role in advancing research that matters.

About us

The Wildlife Trusts are a grassroots movement of people from a wide range of backgrounds and all walks of life, who believe that we need nature and nature needs us. We have more than 945,000 members, over 33,000 volunteers, 4,100 staff and 600 trustees. There are 46 individual Wildlife Trusts, each of which is a place-based independent charity with its own legal identity, formed by groups of people getting together and working with others to make a positive difference to wildlife and future generations, starting where they live and work.

Every Wildlife Trust is part of The Wildlife Trusts federation and a corporate member of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts, a registered charity in its own right founded in 1912 and one of the founding members of IUCN – the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Taken together this federation of 47 charities is known as The Wildlife Trusts.

The next few years will be critical in determining what kind of world we all live in. We need to urgently reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. We recognise that this will require big, bold changes in the way The Wildlife Trusts work, not least in how we mobilise others and support them to organise within their own communities.

About you

Drawing on your strong business acumen, you will build a robust pipeline of commercial nature products to meet growing buyer demand, such as habitat banks for England’s Biodiversity Net Gain market, or nature-based carbon projects for the voluntary carbon market. An innovative problem-solver with an entrepreneurial spirit, you will help embed the systems, processes, and resources needed to strengthen our green finance capability, manage commercial risks, and improve efficiency across the federation.

It is essential that you have strong relationship-building and line management experience to grow our national Green Finance team, and establish new and long-lasting relationships with colleagues across the federation, external partners and stakeholders.

A core part of the role is to grow The Wildlife Trusts’ national function as a trusted broker for high integrity nature market products delivered by local Trusts. Using your strategic commercial skills, you will also lead the development of new opportunities for large scale investment, designing the mechanisms through which investment can be deployed and ensuring these approaches work for both national and local priorities.

You will champion innovation in green finance, supporting pioneering work in nationally significant landscapes, such as the Rothbury Estate, while helping position The Wildlife Trusts at the forefront of nature market development. Acting as a national thought leader, you will represent the organisation across the conservation, government, finance, and business sectors - advocating for the role of green finance in delivering transformational impact for nature.

The Wildlife Trusts value passion, respect, trust, integrity, pragmatic activism and strength in diversity. Whilst we are passionate in promoting our aims, we are not judgmental and are inclusive. We particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented within our sector, including people from minority backgrounds and people with disabilities. We are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities.

About The Role
Every day, people affected by dementia are faced with questions about what comes next. For some, taking part in research offers hope, purpose, and the chance to shape the future of care. But finding the right opportunity, and understanding what it involves, is not always easy.
At Alzheimer’s Society, we believe access to research should be clear, inclusive, and open to everyone. This is where the Alzheimer’s Society UK Dementia Trials Network (UKDTN) Trial Finder comes in. It connects people living with mild cognitive impairment or dementia, their families, and healthcare professionals, with accessible information on clinical trials which are open to recruitment across the UK; helping them take that next step with confidence.
We are looking for a Medical Writer to join our Trial Finder team who can bring clarity to complexity and turn clinical information into something people can truly understand. Your work will directly support people to feel more in control of their journey and make informed decisions about whether research participation is right for them.
You will be part of the Research and Influencing directorate, working closely with the Alzheimer’s Society UK Dementia Trials Network Research Nurse Programme, Data and Digital teams, Research Communications team, Participation colleagues, and external partners across the UK dementia research community. Together, you will help ensure that opportunities to take part in research are visible, accessible, and meaningful.
About the role

- Turn detailed clinical trial information into clear, accessible stories that help people understand what a study involves and why it matters.
- Work alongside clinicians, researchers, NHS teams, and study sponsors to ensure every summary is accessible, accurate, up-to-date and reflects real opportunities to take part.
- Manage a steady flow of new and evolving studies, prioritising your work to meet timelines while maintaining a high quality and attention to detail.
- Keep the Trial Finder platform accurate and easy to navigate by uploading and updating content within the content management system.
- Create and refine supporting content across the Alzheimer’s Society website, helping people feel informed and confident about participating in clinical research.
- Maintain organised records of study listings and updates, ensuring information is reliable and easy to track.
- Support wider storytelling and awareness by contributing to communications that highlight research opportunities and their impact.

About you

- You are skilled at translating complex scientific or medical information into clear, understandable language that connects with a wide range of people.
- You understand the world of clinical research and feel confident working with clinicians, researchers, and other stakeholders.
- You are organised and proactive, able to manage multiple priorities and deliver work accurately within deadlines.
- You value collaboration and build strong, respectful relationships, while also taking ownership of your work.
- You are motivated by purpose, with a strong commitment to inclusion and a genuine desire to improve the lives of people affected by dementia.

Your work will do more than inform, it will empower. It will open doors to research that could change lives and help ensure that no-one is excluded from opportunities because information was too complex or out of reach.
You will join a team that is collaborative, supportive, and driven by a shared purpose. A place where your skills will be valued, your development supported, and your work will contribute to real change.
If you want your work to make a lasting difference, we would love to hear from you.
Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging
We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.  
We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society. 
Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy here along with our internal employee forum and Employee Lived Experience network groups help us promote inclusion and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people. 
Our hiring process
During your recruitment process we want to make sure that you bring your whole self and can be at your best. We are working hard to ensure our recruitment process is as inclusive as possible, so please do inform us of your experience and anything you think we could do better by completing our candidate survey when you apply.  Please also contact Alzheimer's Society Talent Acquisition Team via [email protected] for application support or any adjustments you might need.

Reporting to the Family Support Manager of the Thames Valley Care Team and working in partnership with health, education and social care professionals, you will take responsibility for providing needs-led emotional, social and practical support to families where a child/young person has a life threatening or terminal illness.

Having worked in a stressful and emotional environment you have a genuine interest in building supportive relationships and helping people; and having provided bereavement support to families, you understand processes of grief, loss and change - and how best to help others deal with its impact.

· Practical and people-oriented - you will thrive working at a fast pace whilst maintaining accuracy and be a confident user of IT (including MSOffice)

· A persuasive and open communicator - you will work collaboratively with your team and volunteers to ensure delivery of a high-quality service and support fundraising colleagues by writing case studies and family updates

· A practical knowledge of diversity issues affecting children, young people and their families – aware that being responsive to others needs and concerns, is essential.

What we offer:

We are a Best Companies Two-Star rated organisation, an outstanding place to work! We have a range of fantastic benefits that we offer our employees, including:

· Flexible working hours to balance home and working life

· Employee Assistance Programme with access to remote GP, counselling, physiotherapy, resources to support your mental health and financial wellbeing, as well as a 24/7 helpline via Help@Hand

· Time off in Lieu

· Access to the Blue Light Card Scheme, and other rewards and discounts

· Bike to work, season ticket loan and payroll giving schemes

· A recommend a friend recruitment bonus scheme

· Family friendly policies, focused on employee wellbeing, and an active cross-organisational wellbeing group running a number of initiatives throughout the year

· Pension scheme where we contribute 5% of your salary and you contribute at least 3%

· The option to buy/sell annual leave, as well as additional leave for your birthday, wedding/civil ceremony and an extra half day off for Christmas shopping

· Robust training and development programmes to support your learning and growth

As part of our learning and development Anne Harris Skills Development Programme, we aim to provide a high level of training and development opportunities for all staff, so you are able to perform to the best of your ability, achieve individual and team objectives aligned to Rainbow Trusts strategic plan, supporting staff to be their best and feel a valued member of a high performing organisation.

Our Family Support Teams are given the opportunity to complete a number of diverse training courses in their first 12 months, including but not limited to: Mental Health First Aid, Makaton, introduction to play, drawing and talking training.

The programme aims to provide a building block for you to individually tailor your own learning and development needs.

About us:

Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity enables families who have a child with a life-threatening or terminal illness to make the most of time together, providing expert, practical and emotional support, where they need it for as long as it is needed. For families living with childhood illness, time is everything. Right now, there are too many families coping alone with no support, no time to think, no time to make memories and no time for each other. We believe that no family should go through this alone, so we are here to change that.
