Current jobs related to Head of Public Affairs - Vauxhall - Morgan Law

Morgan Law is delighted to be partnering with Marie Curie, supporting them to recruit a Head of Public Affairs.

About Marie Curie

We are the UK’s leading end of life charity. We provide hands-on nursing and hospice care, a free support line and a wealth of information and support on all aspects of dying, death and bereavement. Our research pushes the boundaries of what we know about good end of life, and we campaign tirelessly for a world where everyone gets to have the best possible quality of life while living with a terminal illness.

Demand for the right care and support for people at the end of their lives is growing, fast. As more of us live longer, with more complex health conditions, pressure on health and social care services is increasing. Over the next 25 years, the number of people aged 85 and older is set to almost double in the UK.

Without radical change more people will die without the care they need. We know that our work - to support everyone in the UK through all aspects of dying and bereavement - is more urgent than ever.

About the role

For over 70 years Marie Curie has worked to deliver a better end of life experience for everyone. A key part of that mission means lobbying for the changes needed from national and local decision makers in order to improve those experiences.
