Marie Curie is seeking an experienced Senior Nurse to join the community team in Swansea, West Glamorgan, Wales! Apply today for a rewarding career where you can help shape the future of palliative care within the region!
Main duties of the job
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, 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 care, 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 three ways:
* Growing and transforming our direct care and support
* Delivering more practical information and support
* Leading in shaping the end-of-life experience
