At Alzheimer's Society, assurance isn't about ticking boxes. It's about safeguarding the resources, reputation, and trust that enable us to support people living with dementia across the UK. As our Assurance and Counter Fraud Manager, you'll play a vital role in strengthening our governance, sharpening our risk management, and championing a culture where fraud doesn't stand a chance.
This is your opportunity to lead with purpose, influence at every level, and build something that truly matters.
About the opportunity
Working closely with the Head of Legal, Risk, and Assurance, you'll lead our internal audit arrangements and counter fraud strategy, ensuring they're fit for purpose, professional, and valued by stakeholders from operational teams right through to our Board of Trustees. You'll be the go-to expert on assurance across our Finance & Assurance directorate.
You'll oversee the delivery of our internal audit plan, deputise for the Head when needed, and provide independent assurance on the effectiveness of our controls, risk management, and governance. You'll also lead and develop our Assurance team, creating a high-challenge, high-support environment where people thrive and performance drives impact.
From promoting an effective counter fraud culture to investigating incidents and driving continuous improvement, you'll bring strategic thinking, technical expertise, and a solutions-focused approach to everything you do. You'll keep ahead of sector trends, champion best practice, and help us stay credible, resilient, and ready for what's next.
Whether you hold a relevant Internal Audit qualification already, are working towards one, or can demonstrate equivalent experience, we'll support your professional development every step of the way.

Broad knowledge of internal audit methodologies, risk assessment, and control frameworks.
Knowledge of counter fraud methodologies, processes, investigations, and relevant legislation.
Experience in Counter Fraud activities and knowledge of Charity Commission guidance on fraud protection and the Code of Fundraising Practice would be advantageous.
Relevant Internal Audit qualification or equivalent experience - we'll support professional study for the right candidate.
What you’ll focus on:
