Description

Company Description
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 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

Job Description
We’re looking for a Wellbeing and Support Assistant to join our Allied Health Services Team at the Cardiff and the Vale Hospice. This is a varied and rewarding role supporting the day-to-day running of the Wellbeing and Support Hub (WaSH), where you’ll liaise with patients, carers, volunteers, and external partners to ensure smooth delivery of activities and workshops. You’ll also help facilitate group sessions and maintain accurate records and appointment systems, contributing to the overall wellbeing of those we support.
You’ll work closely with the Activities Coordinator and the wider multi-disciplinary team, playing a key part in delivering compassionate, person-centred care. This is a great opportunity for someone with strong admin skills and a passion for supporting others in a healthcare environment.
Salary: MCJES Grade B - £22,222 - £23,600 pro rata per annum + enhancements
Contract: Permanent, Part-Time 14 hours per week – Thursdays and Fridays
