Opportunity Description

We are seeking a compassionate and experienced Social Worker to join our multidisciplinary team at Marie Curie Hospice Edinburgh. This vital role involves delivering a comprehensive social work and bereavement service across the hospice and, where appropriate, in the community. You will work closely with patients, families, and carers—supporting them through pre-bereavement and end-of-life care—while liaising with local councils and external organisations to coordinate services.

The role includes conducting 1:1 sessions, attending bed meetings, managing referrals, and overseeing admissions and discharges. You’ll also participate in discharge planning meetings and multidisciplinary team sessions, advocating for patients and families to ensure their needs are met. As an autonomous practitioner and collaborative team member, you’ll uphold national standards and the social work Code of Conduct, contributing to the delivery of compassionate, person-centred care.
