Background

Every three minutes someone in the UK develops dementia: a progressive and complex condition that can be devastating for the whole family. One in two of us will be affected by dementia in our lifetime – either by caring for someone with the condition, developing it ourselves, or both.

Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nursing charity that is there for the whole family. Our specialist nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, provide free, expert advice, support and understanding to help families care for their loved one. Every day, Admiral Nurses help families up and down the country to have the best life possible, for as long as possible.

You will champion high-quality supporter stewardship so that everyone has a fantastic experience with Dementia UK – and ensure team managers continually review the supporter experience so that relationships with supporters are high quality and maximise fundraising potential. You’ll work closely with the Fundraising Innovation Lead to support new product development and the continuation of ideas and minimum viable products.

As a senior leader, you will cultivate a high-performing and aspirational team culture, inspiring staff to exceed targets while providing strong leadership and professional development. Additionally, you will work across the directorate, partnering with Marketing & Communications to enhance brand visibility and supporting wider Fundraising team initiatives to drive greater influence and engagement.

To succeed, you will bring significant experience in developing and implementing successful community fundraising strategies, with a proven track record of income growth, innovation, and exceptional supporter experiences.
