About us

Founded in 2009, at Bright Shadow we do dementia differently. Serving Kent and Medway, we make ambitious, enriching, joyful experiences that use the power of the arts and creativity to enable people living with dementia - and those who give care - to live happy, healthy lives.

We understand the impact of a diagnosis, yet our work fosters positivity: focusing on what we can do, not what we can't. People with dementia, family members, expert artists and other professionals are all part of co-creating our high quality artistic work.

- Has a strong track record of securing income from multiple sources
- Is an excellent writer and communicator
- Can think strategically while delivering day-to-day fundraising activity
- Is highly organised, proactive and able to manage competing priorities
- Builds strong relationships and works collaboratively
- Is passionate about creativity, community and living well with dementia

Experience in digital fundraising, commissioning or the arts/health sector would be an advantage.

Hours: 0.6 FTE - 3 days (21 hours) per week. Working pattern negotiable.
