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, delivering community nursing and hospice care across all four nations, while providing information and support on all aspects of dying, death, and bereavement. Our research advances understanding of good end-of-life care, and our campaigns advocate for a world where everyone can enjoy the best possible quality of life while living with an illness they are likely to die from.

Our Policy and Public Affairs team plays a central role in achieving Marie Curie’s mission: ensuring everyone has the best possible experience at the end of life. They work to challenge inequalities that affect who receives care, how they experience it, and how their families are supported. You’ll join a passionate, collaborative team working across the UK to shape national policy, amplify unheard voices, and influence systems to be more just and compassionate.

As a Policy Manager – Equity & Equality, you will address systemic barriers and inequities in end-of-life care. Your responsibilities include developing evidence-based policy positions, translating research into actionable recommendations, and working directly with stakeholders, communities, and decision-makers to advocate for change. You will play a vital role in promoting equity of access and experience in end-of-life care within the equity and equality workstream.
