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 community nursing and hospice care 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-life.
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:

If you’re a compassionate Registered Nurse who has been considering a move into palliative and end-of-life care, we’d love to hear from you.
Marie Curie provides specialist palliative and end-of-life care in Edinburgh, supporting people and their families when they need us most.

Theseintermediate care beds support people admittedfrom hospitalandhome, where their palliative care needs require the additional support and expertise that a hospice environment can provide.
We’re looking for compassionate, adaptable and dedicated Registered Nurses to join us and help deliver high-quality, holistic and person-centred care.

Make a Lasting Impact: Your work will directly influence future palliative care and help support over 300 patients and families in just one year.
Career-Enhancing Experience: Work in a unit within a multidisciplinary team, providing holistic supportand care, with advanced clinical governance, and high professional visibility — ideal for those looking to build leadership or palliative skills.
Strong Partnership Working: Collaborate closely with NHS Lothian, Edinburgh HSCP, and other care providers in a dynamic, integrated care system.
Opportunities Beyond the Contract: While these are fixed-term roles, they are part of a high-profile test of change backed by significant investment and national interest. Success here opens the door to future commissioning and potential for permanent roles within palliative care.
