We are in the midst of an unprecedented social care crisis. At the heart of this are the millions of unpaid carers who look after friends and relatives with little recognition or respite. At Dementia Carers Count, we stand for them. We campaign for change, provide practical and emotional support, and through our new commercial service we are working with businesses to provide tangible help for dementia carers throughout the UK. 2025 is an exciting year for us as we build on our successes to date to grow our reach and impact.
The Governance and Administration Officer will be part of the Finance & Resources team, which provides support across the organisation, as well as being the first point of contact for many of our partners and beneficiaries.

We’re looking for someone with a breadth of experience in administrative roles, who has a willingness to support others and learn new skills. The role can be based anywhere in the UK, with attendance at occasional in-person meetings, typically around once a month, and usually in London.
We’re a small team, passionate about making a difference for dementia carers. If you believe you have the skills and experience to join us, then we’d love to hear from you.
