We attract, develop and retain the best talent because it’s our people who set us apart.
We know that a new job isn’t just about your first day in the office. We want you to feel part of Alzheimer’s Research UK and our dedication to bringing about life-changing treatments for dementia from the moment you are offered the job. That’s why we provide a comprehensive induction process, helping you to understand the role that each team plays within the charity and how vital you are in making breakthroughs possible in dementia research.
Alzheimer’s Research UK would not be able to achieve its vision without the talent and dedication of its employees. It is important to us that every member of the team feels their career is being invested in and knows their voice is being heard.
