Job description

Job responsibilities

Marie Curie is the UKs leading end-of-life charity. We are the largest non-NHS provider of end-of-life care in the UK, the only provider across all 4 nations, delivering community nursing and hospice care across the country, while providing information and support on all aspects of dying, death, and bereavement. Our leading research pushes the boundaries of what we know about good end-of-life, and our campaigns fight for a world where everyone gets to have the best possible quality of life while living with an illness they're likely to die from.

The care and support we provide is highly valued by the people we care for and their loved ones, but at present we are only reaching around 10% of dying people at the end of life. Right now, one in four people in the UK with a terminal illness, do not get the care or support they deserve at the end of their lives.

  • Knowledge of national policy and guidelines for best practice in palliative and end of life care
  • Ability to assess and interpret complex patient needs and create appropriate treatment plans
  • Licence allowing you to drive in the UK and access to a vehicle insured for business use are essential

What's in it for you:

  • Annual leave allowance 27 days plus 8 public holidays (pro rata)

  • Industry leading training programmes
  • Season ticket loan for travelling to and from work
