The Marie Curie Information and Support Service provides vital assistance for people affected by terminal illness across the UK. We are looking for an additional Support Line Officer to join us and offer some much-needed support to those who need it at a critical time in their lives.
As a key member of the team, you will offer personalised support by providing a listening ear, sharing information and signposting. Our Support Line Officers are not counsellors and are not medically trained, but they are in place to provide a professional service to all enquirers and to reassure and support people at a very difficult time.
You will respond to an array of enquiries from people with a terminal illness or from their family, friends or professionals. Enquiries can range from practical questions about finances or legal arrangements to accessing Marie Curie services, to more emotional enquiries, including grief and loss. You will use the Marie Curie Information and Support resources and other trusted sources (predominantly online) to answer questions, discover information and signpost enquirers to the information they need. This can be by phone, web chat, and other channels, moderating our online community, and carrying out ad hoc project work to develop the service.

What we are looking for:
- You need to have excellent communication skills, a warm heart and a caring and compassionate soul.
- With a genuine interest in helping others, you are patient, adaptable and know how to deliver an excellent customer experience.
- Whilst this can be challenging at times, if you are patient, resilient and a great listener, you will excel in this role.
- Whilst the successful candidate will spend a considerable amount of time on the phone, there is also an administrative element, so a background in office administration would certainly be beneficial.
- All necessary training and supervision is provided to support you in this role.
- Ideally you will come from a charity, health or social care background or have demonstrable customer service experience from another industry (such as a contact centre).
- Experience in a customer care / helpline or telephone support role is beneficial.

What's in it for you:
- Continued access to NHS Pension Scheme (subject to eligibility)
- Marie Curie Group Personal Pension Scheme
- Season ticket loan
- Loan schemes for bikes; computers and satellite navigation systems
- Continuous development
- Industry leading training programmes
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Flexible Working

This includes our staff, volunteers and all those who use or come into contact with our services. We are dedicated to creating not just a safe place to work but also a supportive and rewarding one.

MOVE Europe’s (registered name The Move Partnership) vision is for every disabled young person to have choice and opportunities by learning independent movement. Our mission is to enable disabled young people to gain independent mobility through the use of the MOVE Programme, a 6-step programme used collaboratively in all aspects of an individual’s life, throughout their whole day, by all of the people that work and live with them. The MOVE ethos is centred around a ‘can-do’ approach, where everyone around the individual dares to dream and works on ambitious goals set by the child and their family. Because of this approach, individuals on the MOVE Programme achieve significant positive outcomes, and progress is usually made much quicker than if the person was just accessing traditional therapy services alone.

We work to achieve our mission through delivering the following activities throughout the UK to over 140 schools and therapy teams. Most of our current work is funded by trading income, where teams purchase our services and access support through membership.

• Training: we deliver high-quality training that empowers education and therapy teams to use the MOVE Programme with the disabled individuals they support.
• Support: we provide support services and quality assurance for the teams that use the MOVE Programme to ensure best practice and great outcomes for the disabled individuals they support. This includes network meetings, conferences, the MOVE Quality Mark, 1:1 support, webinars and CPD opportunities.
• Growth: we develop the MOVE Programme across the UK and Europe to reach as many disabled young people as possible who could benefit.

Who are we?

The Wise Group and St Giles came together 2 years ago to form a partnership with the aim of supporting the Probation Resettlement reforms by offering a high-quality service underpinned by staff who have lived experience and cultural competency. To date we have been awarded 17 contracts to deliver Personal Wellbeing and Women’s Services across England and Wales. These services will involve delivering a range of resettlement support interventions to people on probation either being released from custody or on community sentences. 

St Giles is an award-winning social justice charity using expertise and real-life past experiences to empower people who are not getting the help they need. People held back by poverty, exploited, abused, dealing with addiction or mental health problems, caught up in crime or a combination of these issues and others. We show people there is a way to build a better future for themselves and those they care about and help them create this through support, advice, and training. Our peer-led services form the backbone of our work, putting people with lived experience at the centre of delivery, design, and evaluation of support and services across the UK.

The Wise Group is a leading social enterprise which is proud to be making a difference to people’s lives. We’re proud because we help people to find jobs, provide advice to people struggling to heat their homes and support people to find their feet following time in prison.
