Data Insight Manager: Fundraising and Engagement

Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, is recruiting its first Data Insight Manager to lead a small analytics team and help its Fundraising and Engagement directorate become more data-led.

Currently, nearly one million people in the UK are living with 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 – and too often, people are left to cope alone with the relentless, ever-changing challenges.

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.
