As a Ward Sister/Charge Nurse with Marie Curie, you’ll be helping people in their time of greatest need. At Marie Curie, you’ll be providing specialist care and support to patients with terminal illnesses. It’s all about giving them the best possible quality of life. We’ll help you develop your skills to meet individuals’ medical, social, spiritual and emotional needs.

Based in our inpatient unit within the Marie Curie Hospice, you will ensure that professional standards are reflected in our daily practice, supporting the Ward Manager in ensuring strong clinical and professional leadership and support to a dedicated team who provide high standards of specialist palliative care to patients and support for their carers.
