Every day, Admiral Nurses help families up and down the country to have the best life possible, for as long as possible.

Working on a wide range of projects across the charity, you will collaborate with teams such as Fundraising, Clinical, Campaigns, and Business Development. Additionally, you’ll provide feedback on designs developed by agencies and external suppliers, ensuring they align with our visual identity, in conjunction with the Senior Creative Manager.

Additionally, you will have experience championing and adhering to brand guidelines, as well as incorporating accessibility principles into your designs.

If this sounds like you, join us now and be part of a team dedicated to making a real difference in the lives of those affected by dementia.

We are looking for a Senior Project Manager to coordinate an 18-month project exploring how we can operationalise a new in-work poverty benchmark for employers in London.

Living Wage Foundation

The Living Wage Foundation was launched in 2011 by Citizens UK to tackle in-work poverty and ensure that workers earn enough to live on and participate in family and community life. Citizens UK is the home of community organising with diverse civil society alliances set up to develop leaders to work on the issues that matter to them, such as the Living Wage. Other projects include Parent Action and Sponsor Refugees to add depth to the impact of Citizens UK’s work.

The Living Wage is a movement of businesses, organisations and people who believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay. The real Living Wage is an independently-calculated hourly rate based on the cost of living and announced each October ahead of Living Wage Week, our annual celebration of a growing network of over 15,000 Living Wage Employers.

The Living Wage Foundation celebrates employers that voluntarily choose to pay the real Living Wage through an accreditation scheme that recognises a long-term commitment to fair pay and has secured pay rises for 475,000 low paid workers. Over recent years, the Living Wage Foundation has built on the success of the real Living Wage by creating new responsible employment standards – Living Hours and Living Pension – for those employers who want to go further and provide the security workers need now and in the future.
