Job 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 care, 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.

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 three ways:

• Growing and transforming our direct care and support
• Delivering more practical information and support
• Leading in shaping the end-of-life experience

Your Role in Our Mission:

We’re looking for a Business Lead to join our East of England team on a part-time basis (17 hours per week). This role will see you work both from home and out in the field within the region.

It is a very exciting time to join Marie Curie as we enter into a phase of change, collaboration, and partnership with other organisations so that more people have access to a better end-of-life experience. We are continually developing a better understanding of what each community and geographical region may require depending on the public health needs of the population, the community assets already present, and those that are as yet untapped resources.

Reporting to a Business Manager for your assigned ‘place’ in the UK, you will provide commercial expertise to our Caring Services teams to support the innovation and development of new services.

Your Key Accountabilities Will Include:

• Development of market intelligence, pipeline prospects, and knowledge management supporting Marie Curie's growth.

Proposal Development:

• Managing proposal development, supporting the quality assurance and submission of proposals.

Lifecycle Contract Management:

• Preparing and executing all contracts for services on behalf of the place-based team.
• Working across the organisation to ensure that all contract management and financial aspects of contracts are aligned and in place.
• Working with the mobilisation team to ensure the successful mobilisation of services.
• Identification of risks to plans and implementation of actions in partnership with internal stakeholders to mitigate risks and overcome challenges.

This is an ideal career opportunity to join a highly motivated and ambitious team seeking to accelerate and encourage growth and success in line with the key purposes, strategic goals, and values of our Charity. You will gain unique career progression through exposure to UK-wide strategic growth targets and plans.

Application Process:

As part of your online application, you will be asked for a CV and covering letter. Please review both the advert and job description and outline your most relevant skills, experience, and knowledge for the role. Please include your preferred location in the covering letter.

Close Date for Applications: 21st August

Salary: £34,500 - £38,324 dependent on skills, knowledge, and experience (MCJES Grade E)

Contract: Part-time

Based: Flexible. We’re happy to discuss flexible working at the interview stage.

Marie Curie is committed to its values, which underpin our work. We take stringent steps to ensure that the people who join our organisation through employment or volunteering are suitable for their roles and are committed to safeguarding all our people from harm. 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.

We are committed to a world where everyone can thrive and fulfil their potential. We are devoted to the social justice imperatives and organisational benefits of full diversity, inclusion, and equity in the workplace, and are a Stonewall champion. We actively encourage and welcome applications from candidates of diverse cultures, perspectives, and lived experiences.

We're happy to accommodate any requests for reasonable adjustments. Please email any requests to.
