Job Details
Compassion in Dying is looking for motivated individuals who can provide accurate and practical information and support to help people make decisions at the end of life and ensure their wishes are known and respected. The successful candidate/s will have excellent communication skills, enabling them to convey complex information in a straightforward and sensitive way over the telephone, email, social media and webchat.
Compassion in Dying is a national charity working to inform and empower people to exercise their rights and choices around end-of-life care. Our vision is a world in which each individual gets the end-of-life care that is right for them. We believe everyone should be aware of their legal rights and choices when making decisions about their treatment, including how to plan their wishes in advance in a legally binding way.
Demand for Compassion in Dying’s Information Service has steadily increased since it began in 2010, and we receive over 3,000 enquires per year through our Information Line and website. We speak to a range of people from individuals, family members and carers, to health and social care professionals.
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the expansion of a growing Information and Support service. We are seeking individuals to fill either two 14 hour per week posts, or one 28 hour per week post.
Role purpose:
- To be the main point of contact for enquiries to Compassion in Dying’s Information Line, providing expert clinical information and support and enabling people to take control of their care and treatment at the end of life.
- To promote patient choice and personal autonomy through empowering callers to understand their treatment options and therefore make choices that are right for them.
- To work to ensure that each individual is able to plan their care in advance, if they wish to do so, therefore helping to achieve the death that’s right for them.
- To support the development of public information materials and training materials.
