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.

What you'll do:

• Lead Marie Curie's policy agenda on financial security at the end of life.
• Develop evidence-based policy positions and campaigns that influence government and shape public debate.
• Build relationships with MPs, government officials, think tanks, charities and researchers to deliver meaningful change.
• Use research and lived experience to strengthen policy and advocacy work.
• Act as a Marie Curie spokesperson, representing our mission across Parliament, the media and public forums.
• Work closely with colleagues across Research, Communications and Caring Services to turn insight into impact.

What you'll bring:

• Strong experience in policy development, campaigning or public affairs - ideally within social, health or economic policy.
• Exceptional communication and influencing skills, with confidence engaging senior stakeholders.
• Strategic thinking, analytical ability, and a passion for social justice.
• A collaborative approach and commitment to amplifying the voices of those with lived experience.
