About The Role

About the opportunity

We’re looking for a Project Support Officer to join our Project Management Office (PMO) within the COO Directorate. This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in supporting the delivery of strategic programmes that make a real difference to people affected by dementia.

At Alzheimer’s Society, we are here for anyone affected by dementia—providing support through some of life’s most challenging moments. We are a diverse community of advisors, supporters, fundraisers, researchers, and specialists, all united by a shared purpose: to create meaningful impact.

In this role, you’ll provide essential project and product support to the PMO, helping to manage and track a strategic portfolio of work. You’ll gain exposure to how large-scale programmes are delivered, while contributing to the development of tools, processes, and systems that ensure effective project delivery and a single source of truth.

We’re looking for someone who lives our values: determined to make a difference, a trusted expert, committed to working better together, and showing genuine compassion.

 

About you:

You’re organised, proactive, and detail-oriented, with a passion for supporting projects and enabling teams to succeed. You enjoy working collaboratively and are confident communicating with colleagues at all levels.

You’re comfortable managing multiple tasks, from coordinating meetings to supporting systems and processes, and you take pride in delivering high-quality, accurate work. You’re keen to learn and develop your skills within a project environment and are motivated by the opportunity to contribute to meaningful, impactful work.

You'll have:

  • Experience providing administrative or project support within a team environment
  •  Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines
  •  Confidence using systems and tools (e.g. project management software, Microsoft Office)
  •  Experience coordinating meetings, taking minutes, and tracking actions
  •  Good communication skills, with the ability to support and guide colleagues
  •  Attention to detail and commitment to accuracy and quality
  •  A collaborative approach and willingness to learn and develop
What you’ll focus on:  
  • Maintaining and updating project toolkits to support consistent delivery
  • Supporting the development and ongoing management of project management tools and systems
  •  Facilitating tool walkthroughs and supporting user training
  •  Assisting Project Managers in the delivery of strategic programmes
  •  Scheduling meetings, preparing agendas, taking minutes, and tracking actions
  •  Providing guidance and support to colleagues on tools and processes
  •  Supporting a culture of collaboration, inclusion, and continuous improvement
  •  Ensuring accurate administration, reporting, and data management across projects 

Are you ready to build your project management experience while supporting work that truly makes a difference to people affected by dementia?

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 values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.

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. 

Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy here along with our internal employee forum and Employee Lived Experience network groups help us promote inclusion and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people. 

Our hiring process

During your recruitment process we want to make sure that you bring your whole self and can be at your best. We are working hard to ensure our recruitment process is as inclusive as possible, so please do inform us of your experience and anything you think we could do better by completing our candidate survey when you apply.  Please also contact Alzheimer's Society Talent Acquisition Team via [email protected] for application support or any adjustments you might need.

To ensure fairness and consistency to select the best candidate for this role, all our applications are anonymised up until an interview has been confirmed. We recognise the benefits of AI, but if you're considering using it to submit your application, we encourage you to reflect on the value it truly adds. AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to showcase them in your own voice.

We try to avoid closing roles early where possible, however if we receive a high volume of applications, we may close earlier than the advertised closing date. Should this occur, we will aim to provide you with at least 48 hours' notice.

We are committed to safer recruitment and ensuring the welfare of those we work with, due to the nature of some of our roles, we might need to carry out a Criminal Record Check at the relevant level. You can read more information via our Website.

Giving back to you

Our employees work hard every day to make a true difference in people's lives. We are proud to support them with a range of benefits, recognition and many options for working agilely, all contributing to a strong work life balance. We also have various learning programmes to support you in your development and help you grow to realise your potential and shape a career with Alzheimer's Society. 

You can also visit our Working for Us pages, which give you more information about what it's like to be an employee at the Society.
