Job Description

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.

Our Mission: A Better End of Life for Everyone

In the next five years, we're committed to closing the gap for those missing out on the end-of-life care and support they need. We'll achieve this through:

• Expanding and transforming direct care and support
• Delivering practical, accessible information and guidance
• Leading the way in shaping end-of-life experiences

Your Role in Our Vision

We need an experienced, strategic campaigner who knows how to make an impact. You'll bring a track record of developing and delivering effective policy campaigns, along with the confidence to lead them from concept to execution.

You'll be skilled at working collaboratively-bringing together colleagues across teams, mobilising supporters, and ensuring the voices of people with lived experience are at the heart of what we do. You'll be passionate about turning complex issues into compelling calls to action and know how to drive change at both a national and local level.

This is an exciting time to join an ambitious campaigns team who make a big impact working across multiple policy issues that affect people at the end of life and their loved ones, from health to social security and bereavement. You'll play a key role in shaping how we campaign for a better end of life experience for everyone.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the creation and delivery of innovative, results-driven campaign strategies that support Marie Curie's mission and policy goals.
• Oversee the full lifecycle of campaigns-from planning and development through to launch, evaluation, and learning.
• Craft inspiring, persuasive campaign content across multiple channels (including email, social media, and print) to engage supporters and prompt action.
• Ensure campaigns include meaningful opportunities for people with lived experience to contribute, share their stories, and lead change.
• Monitor and evaluate campaign performance, embedding insights into future planning.
• Build strong, collaborative relationships across Marie Curie teams and departments to maximise reach and impact.
• Champion our campaigns internally-energising staff, volunteers, and supporters to get involved.
• Represent Marie Curie at external events, stakeholder meetings, and within coalitions.
• Uphold our brand values and ensure all campaign activity reflects our tone and creative identity.
• Stay on top of relevant policy developments affecting end of life care, using this knowledge to shape campaign priorities.

What You'll Need

• A strong track record of designing and delivering effective policy or public campaigns that drive real-world change.
• Ability to develop and lead campaign strategies that align with organisational goals, using insights and data to inform decisions.
• Skilled at managing complex projects from start to finish-balancing timelines, budgets, and priorities while coordinating with multiple teams.
• Confident in crafting compelling campaign messaging across various formats and channels, including email, social media, and print.
• Experienced in working cross-functionally, bringing together colleagues from policy, communications, and supporter engagement to maximise impact.
• Comfortable representing an organisation externally and building relationships with campaign partners, policymakers, and influencers.
• Committed to involving people with lived experience meaningfully in campaigns, ensuring their voices help shape messaging and strategy.
• Familiarity with using digital tools and platforms to mobilise supporters, build engagement, and drive campaign actions.
• Able to evaluate campaign performance, draw insights, and apply learning to improve future campaigns.
• Confident in speaking about campaigns to diverse audiences-including volunteers, donors, and decision-makers-in an inspiring and accessible way.
