About the role: 

There are currently 2.5 million Dementia Friends across England and Wales and we are working towards our target of 4 million by 2020. In 2017/18 we worked with organisations to create 170,000 Dementia Friends. This is an exciting time as we build on this momentum; this role is about securing the engagement and involvement of national organisations, across all sectors for Alzheimer’s Society’s community change programme, Dementia Friends. This will result in more organisations working to become more dementia friendly that are then able to support the needs of people affected by dementia. This will enable those affected by the condition to live well in their communities.

You will proactively seek out new opportunities and manage existing relationships both internally and externally. You will work with senior leaders externally in order to increase the number of Dementia Friends in organisations and to increase our reach into more sectors of business and society.

You will have significant experience of relationship development with senior internal and external stakeholders. You will be proficient at creating and delivering presentations to audiences of all sizes. Negotiating and influencing skills are essential as are project management, strong prioritising and account management.
