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, 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.

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

• Create internal communications to inspire Morrisons colleagues and customers, delivering engagement plans and digital content.
• Manage digital fundraising efforts, monitoring online campaigns and contributing to new initiatives.
• Provide administrative support and updates on partnership activities, while contributing to innovative fundraising events for Morrisons staff.
