Job description

Job responsibilities

Marie Curie is the UKs 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.

What were looking for:

National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) Level 2 in Health and Social Care OR an equivalent alternative Level 2 Qualification. Minimum of 6 months care delivery experience in a Health or Social Care Environment. Knowledge and understanding of how to deliver person centred care and the components of open and sensitive communication Willingness to undertake work during the night, as advertised Proficient IT skills including knowledge of Microsoft Office Valid UK driving licence with access to a vehicle Flexibility to work across different projects and services across the North-West, if required
