Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.
At Alzheimer’s Society, we’re 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. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding groundbreaking research and compaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.
As Associate Director of Finance, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the financial strength and sustainability of Alzheimer’s Society. Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer and as a key member of our Finance & Assurance and wider organisational leadership team, you will provide strategic leadership on all financial matters. You will be responsible for financial planning, budget management, compliance, and risk control, ensuring the organisation remains financially stable and well-positioned to continue our vital work. Working closely with our Executive and Senior Leadership team colleagues, Board of Trustees, and external advisors you will be central in driving financial excellence and empower teams across the Society with strong financial management practices.
We are looking for an experienced finance professional who exemplifies our values—determined to make a difference when and where it matters most, a trusted expert who believes in working better together, and a leader who demonstrates true compassion. You will have the ability to lead with strategic vision, operational expertise, and a strong sense of accountability—ensuring that financial decisions drive efficiency, growth, and impact.
At Alzheimer’s Society, we are more than a charity. We are a movement. We are advisors, supporters, fundraisers, researchers, influencers, communicators, technical specialists, and more—united in our mission to improve the lives of people affected by dementia. We are led by the voices of those we serve, ensuring they have a choice and a voice in shaping our services and influencing change in health and social care.
We’ve made great strides, but there is still much to do. Our goal is to be a beacon of inclusivity and participation, ensuring that everyone—regardless of background—feels they can turn to us for support and be part of our mission.
This is an exciting time for us, and we need passionate, skilled individuals to help shape the next chapter of our journey. If you share our vision and values, we would love to hear from you.
