About Alzheimer’s Society
Alzheimer’s Society is the UK’s leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding groundbreaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be. Together with our supporters, we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. Our values and our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging guide our work and culture.
We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as part of a minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer’s Society. Our hiring process anonymises applications until interview stage, and we’re happy to support any adjustments. You can share feedback via our candidate survey when applying to help us improve. Some roles may require a DBS check as part of our safer recruitment commitment. Thinking about using AI during the recruitment process? we know this can be helpful in many ways but remember to include your personal and authentic self too. Your voice and experience are what really set you apart.
