We are seeking an exceptional leader and brilliant relationship fundraiser to join the Philanthropy department, leading the Major Donor team at Alzheimer’s Society. The same team doubled their income target last year!
This is a hugely exciting time to work for the UK’s leading dementia charity. The Major Donor Team is growing fast, and we have plans to significantly increase our income to fund critical dementia support services and research. Two ground-breaking treatments have recently shown for the first time that it is possible to slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

Critical to our ambition is developing new partnerships with philanthropic supporters. We have a pipeline of new ground-breaking research & community projects in development that provide an exciting opportunity to grow funding from this audience, and a new major donor prospect pipeline and cultivation programme up and running.
In this role, you will develop and deliver the major donor growth plan, in line with the Philanthropy strategy to 2030, leading a brilliant team of major donor specialist fundraisers. You will develop new long-term, and transformational partnerships with philanthropic partners (both individuals and families) at a £500k+ and £1m+ level. You will be key to engaging them with the Society’s ambitious vision and exciting major programmes of work, spanning cutting-edge research, health inequalities, clinical trials, on-the-ground support, and participation for people living with dementia, and new life-changing dementia treatments.

Importantly, the role also provides the chance to deliver a meaningful impact on the lives of people affected by dementia, helping us to reach our goal of securing £5+ million a year from Major Donors by 2027.

Alzheimer’s Society is primarily a home-based organisation, with the possibility to use our London/Birmingham offices as desired, however, there are also hybrid and office contracts available, so we can be fully flexible. You will be required to travel to attend donor meetings and some team-based meetings and training, so you must reside in the UK, have the correct right-to-work documents to work in the UK and be able to travel to our London flagship office when required.

About you

This role provides a great opportunity for an experienced relationship fundraiser to drive an area of our work that has huge growth potential and is already growing fast! You will get the opportunity to work on a variety of interesting and vital programmes of work that provide help and hope for everyone affected by dementia.

Our Major Donor team sits within the Philanthropy department in the Income & Engagement directorate, and we pride ourselves on being supportive and caring for one another while also being passionate and ambitious about the work we do. 

- You will have an entrepreneurial approach and be able to demonstrate how you have secured new opportunities and built strong, lasting relationships and long-term funding.
- You have a proven track record of securing high-value principal gifts from philanthropic individuals.
- You will be a fantastic leader, who can balance vision and inspiration with critical processes and best practices, motivating and supporting your team to succeed.
- You will also be a confident and engaging communicator, adept at collaborating with stakeholders internally and externally, with a detailed understanding of the evolving major donor and philanthropic landscape. You must understand the motivations of social impact investing for supporters and be curious and highly motivated about ending the devastation caused by dementia.

Equal Opportunities
We’re a national charity providing dementia support to a community that’s ethnically diverse, but we don’t reflect this in our senior leadership. This needs to change.
We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the community we exist to serve. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly those from ethnically diverse communities who are traditionally underrepresented in the charity sector leadership roles.

We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society.
We are committed to building a diverse organisation that represents the communities we serve and ensuring inclusion in everything we do. During your recruitment process we want to make sure that you bring your whole self and be at your best.

The position:

As Social Media Coordinator, you will live and breathe all things social media, leading all activities across our Facebook, X, Instagram, Threads, YouTube, and LinkedIn, as well as keeping an eye out for opportunities elsewhere on social media. 

A social media wizard with strong working knowledge of social channels, you’ll implement a digital strategy focused on engaging and converting our community to take action for animals.

This role reports to the Digital Communications Manager.

If you would like to learn more about the Social Media Coordinator role you can watch a recording of our recent webinar by following the 'Apply Via Website' button.

Hours:

This is a full time position of 37.5 hours per week over Monday to Friday. 

From 1st July 2024 we are piloting a four day working week across the whole of the UK organisation. This pilot is planned to run for 12 months, at which point a decision will be made by our Board of Trustees as to whether this will become permanent. Success of the trial relies on the organisation being able to achieve the same or improved level of impact in four working days as five, with staff experiencing either the same or improved levels of wellbeing.

During the four day week pilot, working hours for this position will be reduced to 30 hours per week, to be worked across Monday to Thursday, with no reduction in salary. This will be a temporary change to the contractual terms for the successful candidate. The appointed person must be prepared to increase their working hours to 37.5 hours per week if a return to a five-day working week is decided. In the event that THL UK considers before the end of the trial period that the trial is having an adverse operational impact, we reserve the right to bring the trial to end on one month’s notice.

You are a whizz with editing tools and can create compelling, dynamic content that hooks people in and keeps them watching.

While working with autonomy is an important part of your role, strong collaboration and communication skills are paramount to your success. And, you’ll be able to prioritise and manage multiple tasks efficiently in a fast-paced environment.

• Encourage and assist staff members in producing social media content, supporting them with creative and technical guidance and giving feedback.

• Contribute to other communications activities such as website and PR content, as necessary.

• Attend events, protests and actions as necessary.

In addition:

• Update the wider team on social media progress and insights.
