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.

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

Job Description

Could you be the difference in someone's toughest days?

We're looking for a compassionate Healthcare Assistant to join our dedicated Inpatient Unit team at Edinburgh Hospice. This is more than a healthcare role; it's an opportunity to provide expert, person-centred care, comfort and support to people living with a terminal illness and their families. Every shift offers the chance to make a lasting impact and be part of a team that truly changes lives.

What you will be doing:

As a Healthcare Assistant within our Inpatient Unit at Edinburgh Hospice, you'll play a vital role in delivering compassionate, person-centred care to people living with a terminal illness. Working as part of a supportive multidisciplinary team, you'll begin each shift by receiving a comprehensive handover to ensure seamless, high-quality care for every patient.

You'll support patients with personal care, mealtimes and nutritional needs, including assisting with feeding where required, while promoting comfort, dignity and independence at all times. You'll help patients with activities of daily living, provide emotional support, and build meaningful relationships with those in your care and the people important to them.

You'll also play an important part in maintaining a safe, clean and welcoming environment, adhering to the highest standards of infection prevention and control. Every day, you'll contribute to creating a positive experience for patients and families, ensuring they receive the outstanding care and support they deserve when it matters most.

What we’re looking for:

Minimum of 6 months’ experience delivering care in a health or social care setting
NVQ Level 2 qualification in Health and Social Care (or equivalent), or a willingness to work towards this qualification
A nurturing and compassionate approach, with excellent communication skills
The ability to work independently while being an integral part of a multidisciplinary team
