Senior Nurse - Northern Ireland

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

The Senior Nurse plays a key leadership role within Marie Curie’s community services, combining hands‑on clinical practice with the day‑to‑day management and development of a nursing team. Working closely with the Clinical Nurse Manager, the post holder ensures high‑quality, patient‑focused palliative care, oversees clinical standards and caseloads, and supports staff through supervision, development and effective team leadership. The role is central to coordinating care, promoting best practice and maintaining a positive, supportive working environment while delivering compassionate end‑of‑life care.
