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

We’re looking for a compassionate and dedicated Healthcare Assistant to join our team delivering high-quality, person-centred end-of-life care. You’ll work closely with patients and their loved ones, supporting their physical, emotional, and practical needs as part of a multidisciplinary team.

What we’re looking for:

Experience in a health or social care setting, ideally with palliative or end-of-life care
NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care (or willingness to work towards it)
A kind, empathetic approach and excellent communication skills
Ability to support personal care, mobility, nutrition, and comfort needs
Willingness to work flexibly, including nights and weekends
Commitment to upholding dignity, respect, and patient choice
