You’ll help bring our work to life – creating accessible, engaging content and supporting campaigns that showcase the impact of local organisations and the difference they make every day.

Working as part of a small, supportive team, you will contribute to delivering communications that inform, inspire and involve.

Join Us in Making a Difference at Marie Curie

Marie Curie is the UK’s leading end-of-life charity, dedicated to ensuring that everyone facing the end of life has access to the care, support, and dignity they deserve. We are the largest non-NHS provider of end-of-life care in the UK and the only organisation to operate across all four nations. Through our network of community nursing, hospice care, and comprehensive information and support, we are here for people and families when they need us most.

Your Role in Our Vision

The Stories Officer is a pivotal role within our high-performing Stories team, helping ensure authentic lived experiences sit at the heart of everything we do at Marie Curie.

In this role you’ll work with people at some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. Not only patients, but families, carers and volunteers, and people affected by poor end-of-life experiences, financial instability and inequality. Some of these stories are hopeful and life-affirming; others are complex, emotional and challenging. You’ll also work with our nurses and healthcare assistants to showcase the dedication and pride they bring to the expert care they provide every day across the UK.

You’ll seek out, gather and steward powerful lived experiences, ensuring they are handled with care, dignity and responsibility, and used ethically and impactfully across our campaigns and communications.

This is a role for someone who combines excellent storytelling skills with deep empathy, resilience and strong organisational ability. You’ll be trusted with people’s stories at a time when trust really matters.

What you’ll be doing

• Sourcing, interviewing and writing accurate, emotive personal stories that reflect a wide range of end-of-life experiences, including both the impact of Marie Curie’s work and the realities faced by those without access to good care
• Speaking sensitively with people about deeply personal experiences, including diagnosis, grief, financial instability and poor end-of-life care, and supporting them throughout the storytelling process
• Working collaboratively with Social, PR, Fundraising, Caring Services and Communications teams to shape and adapt stories for different audiences and channels, including social media, our website, PR & media and fundraising appeals
• Managing storytelling elements within priority, sometimes fast-moving campaigns, often juggling multiple workstreams and deadlines at the same time
• Building and maintaining trusted relationships with storytellers and Caring Services colleagues, ensuring contributors feel informed, respected and in control of how their experiences are shared
• Managing consent, permissions and storyteller records in line with GDPR and organisational policies
• Championing inclusive, ethical storytelling and best practice across the charity, balancing organisational need with individual wellbeing

What you’ll bring

You’ll have experience from a stories, content, PR or fundraising role within a charity or purpose-driven organisation, alongside a strong instinct for human-centred storytelling.

You’re emotionally intelligent and resilient, able to manage boundaries while working with people going through difficult times, while also managing competing priorities and demands.

You’ll also bring:

• Excellent writing, editing and interviewing skills, with strong attention to detail
• Experience sourcing and adapting stories for different channels, including social media and PR
• The ability to manage multiple projects and workloads at once, prioritising effectively in a busy, multi-tasking environment
• Confidence to build trusted relationships and influence colleagues collaboratively
• A clear understanding of GDPR, informed consent and ethical story usage
• Awareness of equality, diversity and inclusion in a storytelling context
• Experience using CMS or asset management systems, and adapting quickly to new digital tools

This role is deeply rewarding, but it isn’t always easy. You’ll hear difficult stories and work at pace during high-profile campaigns. We’re looking for someone who shares our values, understands the realities of end-of-life inequality, and is committed to telling human stories with honesty, compassion and purpose.
