Play a pivotal role in shaping the future of end-of-life care
Join the Executive Team of the UK's leading end-of-life charity.
About Our Client
As the UK's leading end of life care charity, Marie Curie has a key role to play in shaping and delivering the changes needed in how end of life care is delivered both today and in the future.
Today, almost one in three people are not getting the end of life care and support they need. And as the population ages, the demand for palliative care is expected to rise by 21% over the next 25 years. Without additional intervention, by 2050 over 250,000 people in the UK won't receive the end of life care and support they need.
Marie Curie's vision is a better end of life for all, and our mission is closing the gap in end of life care.
