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, and providing information and support on dying, death, and bereavement. Our research advances understanding of good end-of-life care, and our campaigns advocate for quality of life for all with terminal illnesses.
Currently, we reach only about 10% of those at the end of life, with one in four people in the UK with a terminal illness not receiving the care they deserve.
We are recruiting a Registered Nurse to join our Cardiff & the Vale Hospice IPU Team in Penarth.
