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 also collaborate with the Regional Development Leads and Area Business Development Manager, contributing to timely updates and reports on progress against action plans, the development of new services, and any services at risk, particularly within designated areas and restricted funding regions.

In addition, you will represent Dementia UK with key commissioners and stakeholders, influencing local dementia strategies and initiatives. Your efforts will ensure that Admiral Nursing remains a central part of local service design, supporting the overall delivery of Dementia UK’s strategy.

To succeed in this role, you will bring substantial experience in partnership development, account management, and project management. You will have a strong background in developing business cases, strategy development, and implementation, along with a focus on continuous quality improvement and innovation. Experience in the health and social care sector is essential, along with a solid understanding of government policies related to older people’s mental health, carers, and dementia.
