Job summary

Support people to remain comfortable at home when they need it most.

Marie Curie is expanding its overnight community service across West Cornwall and we're looking for compassionate Healthcare Assistants to join our growing team.

Main duties of the job

As an Overnight Healthcare Assistant, you'll provide one-to-one care and support for people living with a terminal illness in their own homes, helping them remain comfortable, safe and dignified throughout the night. Working independently with the support of an experienced multidisciplinary team, you'll make a real difference to patients and families during some of life's most challenging moments.

About us

Marie Curie is the UKs 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 theyre 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.
