Permanent Healthcare Assistant (End-of-Life Care) – Cwm Taf Morgannwg
Company Description
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, serving Britain in all four nations. Our services include community nursing, hospice care, information, and support on dying, death, and bereavement. Through research and advocacy, we champion a future where everyone receives the best possible quality of life while living with terminal illness.
Despite our valuable work, we currently reach only 10% of dying people in the UK. When one in four with a terminal illness doesn’t receive the care they deserve, it’s time for change.
Our five-year mission focuses on closing this gap through:
- Growing and transforming our direct care and support
- Providing practical information and support
- Leading the way in shaping the end-of-life experience
