About Opportunity
Be the voice of Marie Curie Cancer Care in your community. Organise and give your own talks to local groups, raising awareness of palliative care and our nursing service.
As a confident public speaker you'll be going out and about, giving talks about the charity, explaining what we do and providing information to local community groups about how to access palliative care services. We'll provide you with a training pack and a local manager, but it will be up to you to make the contacts and arrange your own speaking commitments.
