Senior Nurse Vale

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

Join Marie Curie’s Wales Community Services team as a Senior Nurse, where you will play a pivotal leadership role in delivering exceptional palliative and end-of-life care across the local community. Based at our hospice in Penarth, this is a community-focused position that offers the opportunity to make a meaningful difference to patients and their families during some of the most important moments of their lives.

In this rewarding role, you will manage and support a dedicated team of Registered Nurses, Nurse Associates and Healthcare Assistants, while working closely with the Clinical Nurse Manager to ensure the delivery of safe, high-quality, patient-centred care. You will take responsibility for coordinating clinical services, overseeing care delivery, and providing hands‑on clinical support, ensuring care is delivered with compassion, dignity and professionalism.

As a senior member of the team, you will lead staff development, mentor and inspire colleagues, and act as a role model for clinical excellence and best practice. Working collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams, you will help drive continuous improvement and ensure that all care provided reflects Marie Curie’s values, enabling patients and those important to them to receive the support they need, when they need it most.
