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.

As a senior leader, you will collaborate with the CEO/Chief Admiral Nurse, Director of Clinical Services, clinical staff, trustees, and volunteers to effectively showcase Dementia UK’s impact, engaging new supporters and deepening relationships with existing ones. You will cultivate a high-performing team culture, inspiring staff to exceed targets while providing strong leadership and professional development. Additionally, you will work closely across the organisation, partnering with Marketing & Communications to enhance brand visibility and supporting Policy, Campaigns, and Public Affairs initiatives to drive greater influence and engagement.

The ideal candidate will have significant experience in major donor, corporate, and trust fundraising, with a proven track record of growing income and securing substantial gifts through senior relationship management.
