About Us

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’ll manage the facilities budget, drive cost efficiencies, monitor utility usage, and identify opportunities to improve environmental sustainability. You’ll also lead and develop a small but dedicated Facilities Team, fostering a culture of service excellence and continuous improvement.

• A collaborative leadership style with a commitment to staff wellbeing, accessibility, and inclusivity

This is your chance to make a meaningful difference. You’ll play a vital role in supporting our people, infrastructure, and culture - enabling us to deliver more for families facing dementia.
