Our mission is to accelerate progress towards a cure.  Today 1 in 2 people will be impacted by dementia, either through caring for a loved one, developing it themselves or tragically both. But there is hope. 

There has never been a more important and exciting time in dementia research. With promising new drugs in clinical trials that slow the progression of the diseases that cause it, and revolutionary new ways to diagnose them on the horizon, we are now at a tipping point. Working with the smartest minds globally and across the UK, with industry and academia, Alzheimer’s Research UK is uniquely placed to invest in the very best research identifying barriers to a cure and knocking them down so that there are more and better treatments for everyone with dementia. For the first time in history, we can see a future where people with dementia can get a swift and accurate diagnosis, and effective treatments that could slow or even stop their disease. We stand for everyone affected by dementia. We stand for a cure. 

In 2024, we were incredibly proud to be awarded a 3-star accreditation by Best Companies which recognises ‘World Class’ levels of workplace engagement. This is the second consecutive time; we have been awarded a Best Companies 3-star accreditation.

We were also listed in the prestigious Best Companies lists:

· 10th in the 50 Best Companies to Work For in the East of England.

· 2nd in the 30 Best Companies to Work For in the Charity Sector.

In addition, we were also shortlisted for a special award recognising the work undertaken on reducing our environmental impact.

In 2021, we were awarded the HR Management award by The Charity Times for our Wellbeing initiatives throughout the pandemic.

In 2020, we demonstrated our commitment to changing the way we think and act about mental health in the workplace and signed the Time to Change Employer Pledge.

Are you passionate about data insight and keen to take your next step?

Do you have experience using a range of analytical and data visualisation techniques and the drive to make a difference?

Insight allows us to make smart decisions with confidence. Faced with ever expanding datasets from both internal and external data sources, we need to be able to convert the raw data into actionable insight so colleagues can spend less time second guessing and more time making the changes we need to benefit people affected by dementia.

Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading dementia charity. We provide information and support, improve care, fund research, and create lasting change for people affected by dementia.
  
About the role 

As part of the Data and Insight team in our Quality and Insight function, this role will work on a wide variety of projects to help colleagues make sense of data sets and develop findings leading to more effective decisions and impactful information.

You understand the importance of accuracy and consistency alongside engaging content. Your curiosity and enthusiasm lead you to explore new techniques and seek continuous improvement. You can work independently and collaboratively, willing to lend a hand and knowing when to ask for help. 

You have great skills and ideas in data analysis and some experiences in languages such as SQL, R and Python. You are undaunted by large, complex datasets. You can direct your own work but know how to keep business colleagues and technical colleagues engaged as part of a broader project team.  

Our employees work hard every day to make a true difference in people's lives. We are proud to support them with a range of benefits, recognition and many options for working agilely. All contributing to a strong work life balance.
