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.

Purpose of the job/About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Business Development Team at Dementia UK, where you’ll play a vital role in managing and expanding Admiral Nursing Services across health and social care settings throughout the UK.

As the Regional Account Manager, you will oversee a portfolio of both new and established Admiral Nurse services across various settings. Working closely with teams across Dementia UK, you will help implement, monitor, and quality-assure all services in line with our business processes. 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.

Join us now and be part of a team dedicated to making a real difference in the lives of those affected by dementia.

Our Culture

In addition to a competitive salary and a generous benefits package, we truly value our people. It’s important for us to create a working environment that looks after our workforce to achieve their full potential. You will become part of a diverse and dedicated team who are supported to use and develop their skills. We recognise and value the key role you will play in delivering our strategic plans for the benefit of those living with dementia.

Our staff have a voice. Representatives from different roles and levels across the organisation positively contribute and lead on our working groups around health and wellbeing, menopause, and equality, diversity and inclusion.

Dementia UK is proud to welcome everyone, we aim for a truly inclusive culture with talented, diverse teams that represent a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We celebrate differences and individuality and encourage everyone to join us and be their whole selves always.
