About Marie Curie

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, providing community nursing and hospice care across the country and supporting people and their families at the end of life.

Our research and campaigns work to improve the quality of life for people with terminal illness and to close the gap in care and support for those who die in the UK.

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.
