This is an exciting opportunity to join Dementia UK’s growing Community Fundraising team as a Regional Fundraiser. As a Regional Fundraiser, you will lead on developing and managing relationships with supporters across the South West region—including individuals, community groups, and corporate organisations. You will play a key role in delivering our community fundraising strategy by identifying new opportunities, nurturing long‑term relationships, and inspiring people to take action and raise vital funds.

You will proactively build a strong pipeline of supporters, delivering tailored stewardship journeys that deepen engagement and increase lifetime value. You will collaborate across teams to promote campaigns and events, contribute to regional content and represent Dementia UK at external events and presentations.

We are looking for someone with a background in community fundraising, experience in relationship management or new business. You will understand community fundraising across both relationship management and new business development, with proven success in building and sustaining stakeholder relationships. The ideal candidate will thrive on connection, purpose, and the opportunity to help families affected by dementia receive the support they need, when they need it most.

Basic DBS check.

We value diversity and inclusion. In addition to a competitive salary and a generous benefits package, we truly value our people. We create a working environment that supports our workforce to achieve their full potential. Representatives from different roles and levels across the organisation contribute to and lead on working groups around health and wellbeing, menopause, equity, diversity and inclusion.

Dementia UK is a Disability Confident Employer. We welcome everyone, celebrating difference and individuality and encouraging everyone to join us and be their whole selves always.

By applying to join Dementia UK, you acknowledge that in the event you are successful for the role, any offer and your ongoing employment will be conditional on you having or obtaining the right to work in the UK.
