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 are 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. We want a different society than the one we live in now. Our mission for the next five years is to close the gap in the number of people missing out on what they need at the end-of-life.
Job Description

Are you an experienced palliative care nurse with a passion for innovation and continuous improvement? At Marie Curie, we are excited to invite highly driven and enthusiastic individual to join our new service at the Royal Stoke University Hospital.

This role exemplifies person-centred leadership, clinical excellence, and effective multidisciplinary collaboration, all of which are crucial for Marie Curie to achieve its strategic goals. You will be expected to adhere to relevant legal, ethical, capability, and clinical frameworks, as well as Marie Curie’s policies and procedures, taking accountability for your actions within the scope of your role.
If you are looking to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those facing terminal illnesses, we encourage you to join our us and make a difference today!
