About Marie Curie
Marie Curie is the UK’s leading end-of-life charity. We are the largest non-NHS provider of end-of-life care, delivering community nursing and hospice services across all four nations:
- Enabling meaningful conversations about preferences and wishes
- Delivering holistic assessments, advanced care planning, and care coordination for those nearing the end of life
- Advocating for systemic change to ensure everyone receives compassionate, quality care in their final days
Currently, only 10% of dying people in the UK receive the care they deserve. We aim to close this gap over the next five years through:
- Expanding and transforming our direct care and support
- Providing practical guidance and emotional support for patients and families
- Leadership in shaping a better end-of-life experience for all
Key Responsibilities

- Proactively identify patients nearing the end of life and facilitate compassionate ward discussions about their wishes and goals.
- Conduct holistic assessments to fast-track appropriate care and treatment plans, including advance care planning and treatment escalation agreements.
- Collaborate with Hospitals’ discharge teams, palliative care specialists, and multi-disciplinary care providers to ensure safe, timely discharge to optimal care settings.
- Work closely with our Hospice Care at Home Service to facilitate community-based transitions, ensuring Marie Curie’s resources are utilised effectively.
Collaboration & Support
- Partner with Health Boards’ teams, loved ones, and existing care networks to implement personalised care plans.
- Advocate for explaining policies, resources, and euthanasia (correct terms replaced) care pathways to promote inclusivity.
- Provide emotional and practical support to patients and their families (so they can focus compassion care only) navigating care options.
