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
Join the Policy, Campaigns, and Public Affairs team, providing expert policy research and analysis to advance Dementia UK’s influencing strategy.
As a Policy Officer (Access to Care), you will take the lead on public policy areas that tackle barriers to care and address health inequalities that impact people living with dementia, their carers, and loved ones. Your focus will be on ensuring that individuals from all communities and backgrounds can access care without exception.
In this role, you will work to secure improvements in legislation, public policy, and statutory services, emphasising inclusive and equitable access to care. You will monitor and analyse policy developments at central, devolved, and local government levels, collaborating closely with colleagues across the Policy, Campaigns, and Public Affairs team to shape Dementia UK’s campaigning and influencing activities.
Additionally, you will build and maintain external relationships to strengthen Dementia UK’s policy calls and increase the likelihood of achieving meaningful change. This includes forging strong working relationships with key policy staff in relevant government departments and representing Dementia UK at events, external committees, and working groups.
To succeed in this role, you will bring experience in public policy and campaigns. You will have a proven ability to formulate policy positions, supported by both qualitative and quantitative research skills. Strong communication skills are essential, along with the ability to build and manage effective stakeholder relationships.
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.
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 support them in achieving their full potential. You will become part of a diverse and dedicated team who are supported to use and develop their skills.

Our staff have a voice. Representatives from different roles and levels across the organisation positively contribute to and lead on our working groups around health and wellbeing, menopause, and equity, 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 difference and individuality and encourage everyone to join us and be their whole selves always.
By applying to join Dementia UK, you acknowledge that in the event you are successful for the role, any offer and your ongoing employment will be conditional on you having or obtaining the right to work in the UK.
