Marie Curie – Deputy Head of Operations

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.

Not every operational leadership role is about managing teams and attending meetings. This Deputy Head of Operations role is different. We’re looking for someone who can turn plans into reality; mobilising new services, embedding change, improving performance and helping operational teams overcome barriers to delivery.

Working across a diverse portfolio of clinical and non‑clinical services, you’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring new and existing services operate effectively, achieve their objectives and continue to grow. You’ll work closely with operational, clinical and senior stakeholders to implement change, drive service improvement and support the successful delivery of care for patients and families across the South‑West.

37.5 hours per week

Full-time Permanent

£49,382 - £56,515 per annum (pro rata), plus a full range of Marie Curie benefits.

Home-based, with regular travel to Tiverton and services across the South-West.

As Deputy Head of Operations, you will help turn agreed priorities into delivered work. The work is not finished when a service launches; it is finished when the service is working, stable, understood and delivering what it was set up to deliver. You will help turn agreed priorities into delivered work.

That means building clear plans, keeping actions moving, resolving practical barriers, coordinating across teams, using data well, and staying with implementation after go‑live.

This role does not carry a large line management portfolio. That is deliberate. Its value is in delivery, follow‑through and operational grip. You’ll work across multiple services and stakeholders to identify challenges, implement solutions and ensure services are delivering high‑quality outcomes for patients and families.

• Supporting the mobilisation and implementation of new services and service developments.
• Driving operational improvement and service redesign initiatives.
• Monitoring performance data and identifying opportunities for improvement.
• Working with operational and clinical colleagues to resolve complex challenges.
• Developing effective processes, systems and ways of working that support sustainable service delivery.
• Supporting services to achieve quality, operational and performance objectives.
• Building strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders to ensure successful delivery of operational priorities.
• Using insight and data to support decision‑making and service planning.

We’re particularly interested in people who can bring structure without creating bureaucracy, are comfortable working in complex environments where priorities shift, and have the judgement to unblock problems while staying close to the detail. You will notice when work is drifting, clarify ownership and follow through to completion.

• Experience of successfully leading and implementing service improvement projects.
• Demonstrable achievements in change management.
• Ability to understand complex issues, problem solve and propose solutions.
• Analysis of complex data to produce meaningful information and support decision‑making.
• Ability to influence and build productive relationships with senior stakeholders and partners.
• Ability to develop new ways of working and improve service delivery.
• High level of organisation, self‑motivation and drive for performance.
• UK driving licence with access to a car.

What’s in it for you:

• Annual leave allowance 27 days plus 8 public holidays (pro rata)
• Hybrid working
• Competitive Policy for parental/sick Leave
• Continuous Professional development
• Industry leading training programmes
• Season ticket loan for travelling to and from work
• Defined contribution schemes for Pension
• Marie Curie Group Personal Pension Scheme
• Loan schemes for bikes; computers and satellite navigation systems
• Introduce a friend scheme
• Help with eye care costs
• Entitled to Marie Curie Blue Light Card
• Entitled to Benefit‑Hub Discount Scheme
• Life assurance – for all employees
