About Us 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. About the Role We are seeking a passionate and strategic Head of Individual Giving and Legacies to join our team and lead the development and delivery of effective strategies for Individual Giving, In Memory, and Legacies. You will oversee and drive a portfolio of inspiring campaigns, appeals, and experiences that maximise long-term, sustainable income generation for Dementia UK. As part of the Fundraising and Engagement team, you will develop the overall team strategy and operational plans for Individual Giving, In Memory, and Legacies. You will deliver against agreed KPIs, ensuring that the strategies and activities directly support the broader objectives of Fundraising, Engagement, and the organisation. You will be responsible for creating annual income and expenditure budgets for Individual Giving, In Memory, and Legacy fundraising within agreed ROIs. Given the long-term strategic importance of gifts in Wills to Dementia UK, you will ensure that the legacy strategy and operational plans are implemented across the charity and all supporter audiences. You will identify opportunities to grow the program by developing insight-led propositions and products that inspire action and maximise income. You will also foster a supportive and aspirational culture where the team is motivated to meet and exceed targets, recognising their contribution to the organisation's objectives and strategy. Minimum Requirements: The ideal candidate will have substantial experience in Individual Giving fundraising, including in memoriam and legacy marketing across multiple channels. You will have a proven track record of delivering income growth and establishing new programs of activity. Additionally, you will have experience in developing and implementing fundraising strategic plans and translating them into operational plans with clearly defined KPIs and managed risk. You will also be experienced in leading a team, providing direction and motivation, and delivering effective line management through supervision and staff development. If this sounds like you, join us in making a difference to 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. We recognise and value the key role you will play in delivering our strategic plans for the benefit of those living with dementia. 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.
