Senior Partnerships Officer

The charity

Cavell is the charity that transforms the lives of nurses and midwives facing crisis and tough times. The need for Cavell has never been greater and the charity is at its most critical point in its 107-year history as the demand for support is at an all-time and still increasing while there is a need to refocus income sources.
Over the past 10 years the nursing and midwifery professions have faced multiple challenges, including covid, staff shortages, pay disputes, the cost of living, and now burnout. Cavell is here to help the professions when they need life changing and practical support. We help the financial and mental health of nurses and midwives, enabling them to continue to provide the care that supports the ‘nation’s health’.
Cavell is a dynamic charity that strives to deliver exceptional, holistic support to the nursing and midwifery family when they need it most. Our reach extends across tens of thousands of lives.
