About The Role

Are you able to remain organised while successfully managing fundraising events? Would you like to ensure we provide the best possible events experience to our supporters, whilst raising vital funds to help those affected by dementia?

We are recruiting for Events Fundraising Officers to join our ambitious Third Party and Organise your Own (OYO) Events team. These are full-time roles, working 35 hours per week with four fixed-term contract options available:

• Fixed Term Contract until May 2026
• Fixed Term Contract until October 2026
• Fixed Term Contract until December 2026
• Fixed Term Contract until December 2027

As Events Fundraising Officer (Third Party & OYO) you’ll support the growth, development, and delivery of our Third Party Events portfolio. Each of the Events Fundraising Officer roles will lead on high-profile events including the London Marathon, Manchester Marathon and London Landmarks half Marathon. One of these roles offers the exciting opportunity to be the Lead Officer for our official charity partnership with the AJ Bell Great Run Series in 2026 and 2027.

You’ll work across multiple events to help us to give our participants the best possible supporter experience. This will enable us to build lasting connections with our cause and contribute to the £12million our team is projected to raise this financial year, with the wider Events team set to raise £22million. This is a rewarding role which helps to raise vital funds to support the lives of people affected by dementia.

These roles are all home-based, however you will be asked to travel and attend events in-person across weekends throughout the year (travel expenses paid for by the Society).

Interviews for this role have been provisionally scheduled to take place via MS Teams on the week commencing Monday 3rd November.

About you

Joining us, you’ll have experience managing projects and/or events, with the ability to stay organised and prioritise your workload effectively. You’ll have experience of financial management and budgeting in relation to a project or an event.

Crucially, you’ll be able to build positive relationships with both internal and external stakeholders and suppliers. You’ll be an effective communicator with experience producing and managing marketing or stewardship communications. You’ll also have the ability to collaborate successfully with others to deliver successful events that enable us to achieve targets.

What you’ll focus on:

• Organising, planning and delivering Third Party events successfully, providing the best possible experience for our participants.
• Building, monitoring and managing income and expenditure budgets, along with participant numbers, to ensure we hit our fundraising targets.
• Communicating with and building positive relationships with external suppliers and internal colleagues.
• Making data-led decisions and problem solving to ensure we hit our ambitious team targets, working under your own initiative whilst collaborating with peers.

About Alzheimer's Society

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 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 commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging

We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.

We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society.
