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 us as a valued member of the Individual Giving, In Memory, and Legacy team within the Fundraising and Engagement department, where you’ll play a key role in the Individual Giving (IG) fundraising programme.

This is a great opportunity if you are interested in being involved in a cause that benefits many people throughout the UK and developing your career in fundraising.

As the Senior Individual Giving Executive, you’ll play a pivotal role in driving our mission forward by developing, delivering, and managing impactful acquisition, engagement, and retention campaigns. You’ll oversee a diverse portfolio of income-generating initiatives, including Face-to-Face Private Site fundraising, Lottery, and Regular Giving programs.

You will be a key player in shaping our success by collaborating with internal teams and external partners to develop and execute multi-channel marketing plans. You’ll actively monitor performance against set targets and ensure campaigns stay on schedule and within budget. By reporting on campaign results, identifying learnings and providing recommendations you will play a significant role in optimising and shaping future fundraising campaigns.

The ideal candidate will have previous experience of Individual Giving fundraising through a variety of methods and channels. You will be an excellent project manager with a track record of successfully achieving results against targets for fundraising campaigns. You should possess a strong understanding or hands-on experience in digital fundraising, including paid search, paid social, and online platforms. Additionally, you will have experience of using databases and other data sets for fundraising campaign selections and analysis, with the ability to develop and deliver insight-led, audience-focused supporter journeys.

If this sounds like you, join us in making a difference in the lives of those affected by dementia.
