Marie Curie
ApplyMarie 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.
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, through 3 ways:
• Growing and transforming our direct care and support
• Delivering more practical information and support
• Leading in shaping the end-of-life experience
We’re looking for a Registered Nurse to join our team in the Western Trust for both our urgent hospice care at home and overnight visits.
As a Registered Nurse, you’ll be a key member of the multidisciplinary team, providing holistic, person-centred end-of-life care. Your responsibilities include assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating high-quality nursing care for people living with a terminal illness and those important to them. You’ll work collaboratively with other providers and across the system to improve the experience of dying, death, and bereavement. The role involves both clinical leadership and direct patient care, ensuring dignity, respect, and compassion are at the heart of everything you do.
You’ll be accountable to the Hospice Ward Manager, Community Clinical Nurse Manager, or Registered Manager (depending on location/service), and professionally accountable to the Head of Quality and Clinical Practice, Head of Operations and Quality, or Head of Nursing and Quality. The team includes Registered Nurses, Health Care Assistants, Trainee Nurse Associates, Clinical Educators, Ward Sisters, and senior management.
