You’ll be excited by the opportunity of exploring new ways to communicate and engage and sit within a wider Internal Communications and Engagement team who know the power of great communications to effect impactful outcomes for those living with dementia.

You’ll have the opportunity and time to develop ideas when leading on key projects and campaigns throughout the year, working in collaboration with our volunteering team as well as other teams across the organisation.
