Full job description
Company Description
Marie Curie is the UK’s 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.
Job Description
Join our expanding Marie Curie night service in Cornwall and be part of a team that’s making a real difference - our growth means we can reach and care for even more end-of-life patients across the county, providing comfort and dignity when it matters most. These roles are perfect for compassionate individuals who thrive working independently through the night, delivering high-quality care and support to patients and their loved ones during life’s most challenging moments.

Qualifications
National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) Level 2 in Health and Social Care OR an equivalent
6 Months care delivery experience (current) in a Health or Social Care Environment.
Hold a current and valid driving licence and have access to a vehicle which includes business insurance
Knowledge of palliative and end of life care.
