Are you ready to take the next step into a senior leadership role and shape the future of dementia services across Humber and North Yorkshire?

This is a high impact leadership opportunity to lead the delivery and ongoing development of our dementia support services across diverse and largely rural counties.

You will play a critical role in ensuring people affected by dementia receive high quality, accessible and person-centred support, by expertly managing the delivery of a number of service contracts. You will be familiar with working within the Health and Social Care landscape and the challenges that people with dementia face regarding access to diagnosis, appropriate care and support and being afforded the opportunity to face dementia on their terms.

As Local Services Manager, you’ll provide visible, values driven leadership to your team and professional partners, driving performance, championing compliance, strengthening relationships, and identifying opportunities to continually improve outcomes.

This is a homebased role with regular travel across Humber and North Yorkshire. Due to the geography of the area, access to a vehicle is essential and mileage claims will be paid from the Humber and North Yorkshire border.

Whilst the role is based within Humber and North Yorkshire and there will be opportunities to work collaboratively across this wider area, supporting regional service development, you will be responsible and accountable for the delivery of specific service delivery within a smaller geographical area

You will work closely with fellow Local Services Managers and contribute to the North East, Yorkshire and East Midlands Regional Management Team, giving you exposure to wider strategic leadership and development opportunities.

This role is particularly suited to internal candidates who are ready to step into leadership, build on their experience, and broaden their impact.

About you

You will have:

- Experience in successfully managing and supporting service delivery, ideally within health, social care or community settings or transferable experience from related sectors.
- Experience in leading geographically dispersed, community-based teams and managing contracts, with a focus on quality and safe delivery of a high performing service.
- You will be confident using IT systems and managing and reviewing information through computerised recording systems. You will also be able to confidently navigate relationships through virtual means, including Teams.
- Passionate about continually improving services for people affected by dementia and informed by their experiences. You will be committed to our values and have a focus on meeting the needs of the diverse communities of Humber and North Yorkshire, driving forward equity and accessibility within our services and within our teams.
- Comfortable working independently and collaboratively across directorates within our organisation ensuring everything that we do makes a difference to people affected by dementia.
- Have organisational and relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage stakeholders and monitor performance.
- Be able to travel regularly across Humber and North Yorkshire maintaining a strong local presence.

Please don’t be put off from applying if you don’t meet every single requirement listed. We recognise the value of transferable skills and lived experience, and we’re keen to hear from candidates who can demonstrate potential, capability and a willingness to learn.

Key Responsibilities:

- Providing strategic leadership of contract delivery, ensuring performance, quality, and compliance
- Lead, support, and develop a team of Dementia Advisers and volunteers, creating a high-performing, engaged, and inclusive team culture
- Provide coaching, guidance, and performance management to enable individuals and the wider team to succeed.
- Collaborating with fellow Local Services Managers to provide cohesive leadership across the region to ensure seamless delivery. You will also be part of the North East, Yorkshire and East Midlands Regional Management Team, with occasional face to face meetings outside of the immediate area.
- You will share responsibility for quality monitoring, performance and team culture of the North East, Yorkshire and East Midlands team.
- Building relationships with local authorities, the health board, and pathway partners, including presenting to diverse audiences and advocating for people with dementia and the service. This may also include occasional requests for media interviews.
- Identifying opportunities to strengthen services and improve outcomes for people affected by dementia.

Interviews for this role have been provisionally scheduled to take place over Teams 7th & 8th Sept.

About Alzheimer's Society

Dementia is the UK's biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.

At Alzheimer's Society, we're the UK's leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding groundbreaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.

Together with our supporters, we're working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.

Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.

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.

To ensure fairness and consistency to select the best candidate for this role, all our applications are anonymised up until an interview has been confirmed. We recognise the benefits of AI, but if you're considering using it to submit your application, we encourage you to reflect on the value it truly adds. AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to showcase them in your own voice.

We try to avoid closing roles early where possible, however if we receive a high volume of applications, we may close earlier than the advertised closing date. Should this occur, we will aim to provide you with at least 48 hours' notice.

We are committed to safer recruitment and ensuring the welfare of those we work with, due to the nature of some of our roles, we might need to carry out a Criminal Record Check at the relevant level. You can read more information via our Website.

Giving back to you

Our employees work hard every day to make a true difference in people's lives. We are proud to support them with a range of benefits, recognition and many options for working agilely, all contributing to a strong work life balance. We also have various learning programmes to support you in your development and help you grow to realise your potential and shape a career with Alzheimer's Society.

Working across three mental health accommodation services in Camden and Barnet, you’ll be a central point of support for managers and colleagues.

By keeping information accurate, spotting issues early and bringing order to competing priorities, you’ll help create safe and effective services that residents and staff can rely on. You’ll join a supportive organisation where you can strengthen your skills, take on new challenges and continue developing your career.

The postholder will be expected to work across all three sites, spending part of their working time at each location. There may also be some opportunity to work from home, depending on service needs and the tasks being completed.

• You’re a natural organiser who enjoys bringing structure to busy services and making sure important details never get missed.
• You’re confident using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, and can turn data from spreadsheets and systems into clear, useful reports.
• You communicate warmly and professionally with residents, colleagues and external partners, even when priorities are moving quickly.
• You take ownership of your workload, balance competing deadlines and spot what needs following up before it becomes a problem.
• You understand that accurate, confidential and responsive administration plays a vital role in helping residents receive safe, consistent and high-quality support
