**What we are looking for**:

- Relevant community experience
- S/NVQ Level 2/3 qualification or an equivalent certificate/diploma is desirable
- Emotional strength and the ability to work on your own are crucial, though we will of course provide excellent on-going training and support
- UK driving licence & access to a vehicle are essential

**What’s in it for you**:

- Marie Curie Group Personal Pension Scheme
- Season ticket loan
- Loan schemes for bikes; computers and satellite navigation systems
- Continuous development
- Industry leading training programmes
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Flexible Working
- Generous enhancements:
44% x your basic salary per hour paid for Saturdays & night duty (8pm to 6am)

88% x your basic salary per hour paid for Sundays and Public Bank Holidays

Marie Curie is committed to its values, which underpin our work. We take stringent steps to ensure that the people who join our organisation through employment or volunteering, are suitable for their roles and are committed to safeguarding all our people from harm. This includes our staff, volunteers and all those who use or come into contact with our services. We are dedicated to creating not just a safe place to work but also a supportive and rewarding one.

Every day of your life matters - from the first to the last. When you work for Marie Curie, you understand that better than ever. We’re a passionate, committed and diverse team of more than 4,400 staff and 12,000 volunteers, here for people living with any terminal illness, and their families. We offer expert care, guidance and support, to help them get the most from the time they have left.

Everyone knows our daffodil, but it’s our warmth, creativity and care that touch lives. Here, we take the time to really get to know the people we care for and those who love them. And we do whatever it takes to give them the final days and hours they deserve.
