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 ensure reliable and accurate financial reporting for the charity, oversee finance projects, and establish a proportionate, robust risk and governance framework.
As a strategic leader, you will contribute to the overarching strategy for Finance and Corporate Services, collaborating with the director to develop and implement the Finance and Governance strategy, ensuring this aligns with the Dementia UK’s organisational goals and translate into clear, measurable targets. Collaboration with the fundraising and program teams will also be essential to ensure accurate financial management of grants and donations.
To succeed, you will be a fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent) with extensive senior-level financial management experience, ideally within the nonprofit or charity sector. A strong working knowledge of Charity Commission and SORP reporting requirements is essential, along with experience in creating and implementing strategic finance initiatives.

You’ll be at ease working on a strictly non-partisan, cross-party basis and grounding our campaigns and communications strategies in human rights and liberal principles. You’ll also embody our principles of equality, respect and accountability.
