At Marie Curie, we believe that everyone deserves the best possible quality of life until the end of life. We are the UK's leading end-of-life charity and the only one delivering care, support, and information across all four nations. From community nursing to hospice care, from bereavement support to national research and campaigning - we're fighting to ensure no one dies in poverty, pain, or loneliness.

Yet, 1 in 4 people still miss out on the palliative care they need. This isn't just a statistic - it's a reality for families across the UK. And as the demand for end-of-life care increases by up to 25% by 2048, the time to act is now.
That's why we're launching an ambitious, organisation-wide programme to close the gap in end-of-life care - and we need an exceptional Programme Director to lead it.

Your role in our mission……
As our new Programme Director, you will lead a high-impact, cross-functional programme that underpins our five-year strategy. Working closely with the Executive Team and senior stakeholders across the charity, you will design and drive change that directly contributes to:

• Growing our influence, scale, and impact
• Delivering more vital care and support
• Building operational and financial resilience

You'll coordinate multiple workstreams, align change initiatives with business-as-usual operations, and ensure the entire programme stays focused on delivering real-world outcomes for people at the end of life. This will include:

• Programme Leadership: Define and manage the programme scope, deliverables, and KPIs. Track progress across workstreams and hold teams to account.
• Strategic Integration: Identify and maximise cross-programme opportunities and interdependencies to drive organisational coherence.
• Governance & Assurance: Establish strong governance, manage risk and readiness for change, and support decision-making at Programme Boards.
• Communication & Engagement: Work with executive leaders and engagement teams to communicate purpose, progress, and impact clearly and consistently.
• Budget Oversight: Oversee financial planning and reporting to ensure responsible, transparent use of resources.
• Legacy & Learning: Embed continuous improvement by capturing lessons and building transformation capability across the organisation.

What We're Looking For….
You're an experienced programme leader with a track record of delivering complex, cross-organisational transformation. You understand how to deliver at pace, influence across senior levels, and create clarity in complexity.

Key Criteria:

• Deep programme leadership experience. This may come from sectors involving health, care, or complex service delivery, but it's not a prerequisite.
• A strong track record in organisational change, transformation, or development.
• Outstanding stakeholder management and influencing skills, especially with senior leaders.
• Expertise in governance, risk management and programme assurance.
• A relevant project/programme management qualification (e.g., PRINCE2, Agile, MSP, PMP).
• A strong understanding of change management models and how to apply them in a real-world setting.

Why Join Us?
This is more than a programme. It's a movement to redefine how the UK supports people at the end of life. You'll work alongside passionate, mission-driven colleagues, with the full backing of our Executive Team, in an organisation that values impact, inclusion, and innovation.

Be part of the change. Help us close the gap in end-of-life care - for good
