The Marie Curie Rapid Response Service delivers rapid and flexible out-of-hours nursing care and support for terminally ill patients and their carers. (Other services include multi-visit/overnight service/ Blood transfusion service **these are trust area-specific**). We are a community-based palliative care service whose aim is to respond quickly to support palliative patients and their carers within the community, usually in the patients’ own home. We aim to prevent inappropriate admission to hospital and support the patient’s preferred place of care.

We are passionate about continuous improvement and are looking for nurses who share this passion to work with us to ensure the people we serve, and our staff are treated with respect and as individuals.

The Marie Curie Nursing Service is deployed in geographical regions that contain a series of smaller teams designed to provide a supportive staffing network. This role is primarily working on our Rapid Response service.
