Job Description

Company 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, 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.


The care and support we provide is highly valued by the people we care for and their loved ones, but at present we are only reaching around 10% of dying people at the end of life. Right now, one in four people in the UK with a terminal illness, do not get the care or support they deserve at the end of their lives.


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 3 ways:

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

Are you a passionate and experienced physiotherapist looking to make a meaningful impact? Join our dynamic therapy team based at the hospice in Solihull as a Specialist Physiotherapist.


You will take the lead in assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating evidence-based physiotherapy care for individuals living with terminal illness. You will see patients on our in-patient unit, in the community, and also in our Support and Wellbeing Hub. You will be involved in running groups to support patients with their mobility and symptom management. You will work closely with the MDT, ensuring patients have the best chance of achieving their goals. You'll be involved with our staff education program, learning and helping to equip them with the necessary knowledge and expertise to provide suitable patient-centred treatment.


If you are dedicated to improving end-of-life care and possess the skills and experience required, if you'd like to work in a beautiful setting, in a supportive team, if you'd like to develop your skills and knowledge in a specialised yet broad area, we encourage you to apply and join us in making a difference.
