Bank Clinical Nurse Specialist - Marie Curie Dementia Pathways Project

We are recruiting experienced professionals to support an exciting project focused on dementia awareness, training, and advance care planning across and in partnership with the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a time-limited, high-impact programme, helping to build capability across non-clinical teams and supporting better outcomes for people living with dementia., This role is different from a traditional clinical post. It is project-based and delivery focused, with an emphasis on:

• Designing and delivering dementia awareness and training sessions for non-clinical staff
• Supporting the development and understanding of advance care planning conversations
• Acting as an ambassador for Marie Curies dementia and end of life care work
• Attending events and conferences, presenting and sharing best practice
• Helping to raise awareness and promote the service across Wales
This role will not include full clinical caseload responsibilities and is instead centred on education, engagement, and influence.

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. 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
