2. Skills and Experience

Administration of the AvMA Panel

The bulk of the administration and management tasks do not require specialist skills; however, assistance is provided by the PA to the CEO when required.

AvMA has a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) driven computer system throughout the organisation, the introduction has been phased and the applicant should be confident enough with sufficient IT skills to onboard the new system. The CRM works with Microsoft Dynamics 365 a data driven software solution which is intended to manage, track and store information. AvMA considers IT to be an ongoing commitment and the new panel accreditation manager should be willing to consider ways in which AvMA can maximise the impact of the CRM to improve services and data collection on key issues identified from panel related activities.

Tasks such as updating and preparing new panel application documents and report forms will require medical and legal input, the panel application interview process will involve discussions about topical medico legal issues and for this reason the post would suit someone who has a legal background, ideally qualified as a solicitor or barrister, preferably with clinical negligence accreditation. A a medical background would be helpful.

Assessment of new applications, interviews and dealing with correspondence

The Panel Accreditation Manager is primarily responsible for the assessment of new panel accreditation applications.

The role of Panel Accreditation Manager would suit someone who has practised as a claimant clinical negligence lawyer who is looking to draw on their expertise and experience in a new role.The successful applicant should be confident in assessing former peers and colleagues in a fair and impartial way.

The nature of this work is such that the Panel Accreditation Manager can come into possession of sensitive information, discretion and respecting confidentiality are key qualities for this role. 

Reaccreditations

Reaccreditation assessments are done internally by the Panel Accreditation Manager, occasionally assistance can be provided by members of the internal panel assessment team.

AvMA aims to make reaccreditations more straightforward for practitioners and the new appointee will be expected to liaise with the profession to understand where they consider the biggest hurdles to reaccreditation lie and to consider how these can be overcome without compromising standards. 

AvMA receives a minimum of 15 applications for reaccreditation per annum, however numbers are usually considerably higher, up to 30 per annum.It is thought that the reaccreditation process could be designed to be more streamlined and user friendly for both the applicant and in house.

Other AvMA Panel assessments

In addition to assessing AvMA panel applications and reaccreditations the Panel Accreditation Manager will need to assess applications from accredited panel members who have changed firms.

Change of firm applications tend to be straightforward if the applicant has been on the panel for some time and is going to a firm where there is another AvMA panel member but the process is more in depth for those going to a firm which does not have another AvMA panel member.  The Panel Application Manager needs to be confident that the new firm can meet the minimum standards and supervision requirements required of a first time panel application. 

There are about 5 applications for changes of firm rising to a maximum of 10 per annum. 

Interim Reviews

From time to time first time applicants may demonstrate that they largely meet the core criteria for AvMA Panel membership but there may be some areas that require improvement.In those cases, AvMA can award the applicant AvMA panel status subject to a review sometime later.The Panel Accreditation Manager is responsible for following up that review and examining progress made.The review is an opportunity to identify if the applicant has succeeded in strengthening the areas of weakness identified.If they have not, they risk losing their AvMA panel status entirely. 

There are about 3 interim reviews per annum, currently not exceeding 6. 

3. Other

• To support the Events Department’s quality initiatives and to suggest continuing improvements where needs arise.

• To undertake other duties commensurate with the post as may be required.

• Deputise for the Head of Events when necessary

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.
