Senior Nurse – Cardiff and the Vale – Full Job Description
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 in the UK, the only provider across all 4 nations, delivering community nursing and hospice care nationwide. Our care and support is highly valued by those we help and their loved ones, though currently, we only reach around 10% of dying people. One in four people with a terminal illness in the UK does not get the care they deserve.
Our mission is to close the gap in end-of-life services through:
- Expanding and transforming direct care and support
- Providing practical information and guidance
- Shaping the future of end-of-life care
The Role
We are recruiting a Senior Nurse to proactively identify patients nearing the end of their lives. You will:
- Facilitate supportive conversations about their wishes and preferences.
- Collaborate with Health Boards, patients, and their families to undertake holistic assessments, including advance care planning and treatment escalation plans.
- Support fast-track assessments and care planning for safe and timely discharges.
- Work with our Marie Curie Hospice Care at Home Service to integrate patients into the community where appropriate.
- Partner with multi-disciplinary and palliative care teams to ensure continuity of care.
