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 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.

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.

- 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.

About the Giving Directorate and Net Zero Carbon Programme
The Church of England ministers to every community in England, and our mission and ministry is sustained and expanded through a culture of generous giving.

The Giving Directorate plays a vital role in equipping dioceses, parishes, and clergy with the tools and confidence to encourage generosity. Through strategic leadership, innovative resources, and collaborative partnerships, we aim to inspire giving that enables the Church to flourish in every community. We lead major funded projects that strengthen giving across the Church, ensuring that generosity is central to mission and ministry.

The Giving Directorate has four teams: Innovation & Insight (leading on innovations, the parish share project, data analysis and marketing); Parish Giving Scheme (giving mechanisms and technology); NZC Fundraising (including policy, philanthropy and gifts in wills) and Learning & Development (delivering training, mentoring, and equipping clergy and diocesan giving advisors, national and regional conferences, and developing online learning resources for parishes).
You will sit within the Net Zero Carbon Fundraising team which leads the strategy to coordinate and support the plans being developed by our dioceses, churches, cathedrals, schools, and departments to secure the significant additional funding needed to decarbonise the Church of England.

What you'll be doing
Legacies have historically played a transformative role for the Church of England - sustaining parish ministry, helping deliver the 30,000+ community projects run by parishes every year, conserving historic buildings and enabling important work for the future, including Net Zero Carbon projects. There is significant untapped potential for legacy giving to make an even bigger difference to our work, but awareness is uneven, and local church leaders often lack the training and resources to talk confidently about gifts in wills.

As the Gifts in Wills Manager, you will lead an ambitious new legacy programme to significantly expand the support and resources available for all parts of the Church of England to effectively encourage legacy giving. This will include creating new legacy giving resources that can be used by parishes, cathedrals and Dioceses as well as new training for local parish volunteers, clergy and senior leaders.

Gifts in wills have the potential for significantly enhancing the work of the church in caring for God's creation, being the culmination of a person's lifetime of commitment and care for the church and God's creation. The role will include specifically looking to develop NZC cases for support as a way to encourage gifts in wills, through linking the ongoing and perpetual care of God's creation with the long term impact of gifts in wills.
Through your work you will create a culture shift where legacy giving is demystified to become a natural part of Christian discipleship. The increased number and generosity of legacy gifts pledged and received will make a long-lasting impact on the financial ability of parishes, cathedrals, and dioceses to fund their ministry and social impact in the communities they serve.
