• 45p per mile for business travel.

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 palliative and end of life care and support across the country, while providing information and support on all aspects of dying, death, and bereavement. Our leading research pushes the boundaries of what we know about good end-of-life, and our campaigns fight for a world where everyone gets to have the best possible quality of life while living with an illness, they’re likely to die from.

The care and support we provide is highly valued by the people we care for and their loved ones, but at present we are only reaching around 10% of dying people at the end of life. Right now, one in four people in the UK with a terminal illness, do not get the care or support they deserve at the end of their lives. 

We want a different society than the one we live in now. Our mission for the next five years is to close the gap in the number of people missing out on what they need at the end-of-life, through 3 ways:

• • Growing and transforming our direct care and support
  • Delivering more practical information and support
  • Leading in shaping the end-of-life experience 

As an Associate Director, Caring Services, you will play a pivotal leadership role in making that belief a reality—shaping, delivering and growing high-quality caring services across London and the Home Counties.

This is a senior, influential role for an experienced leader who thrives at the intersection of strategy and operational delivery, and who is motivated by impact, partnership and purpose.

Reporting to the Managing Director, you will be accountable for the strategic and operational leadership of Marie Curie’s caring services within your place, ensuring services are high quality, financially sustainable and responsive to the needs of patients and communities.

You will lead performance, planning and partnership development, translating national strategy into local delivery while identifying opportunities for growth, innovation and improved outcomes.

Salary: £77,000 - £85,500 per annum

Contract: Permanent

Hours: Full time – 35 hours per week

Base: Hybrid – Home + a minimum of 1 day per week in our London Head Office

• A professional healthcare qualification is desirable, or equivalent experience in a health related field, alongside leadership or management qualifications (Master’s level desirable).

This is an opportunity to shape services that truly matter, working at scale, with autonomy and influence, in an organisation driven by compassion, collaboration and excellence.

You’ll join a senior leadership community committed to innovation, partnership and delivering meaningful impact for people at the end of life.

At Marie Curie, our values are central to everything we do. They guide how we care for people, how we work together, and how we make decisions every day.
