Jobs at Marymount University Hospital & Hospice

Marymount University Hospital & Hospice (“Marymount”) provides specialist palliative care services and services for the care of dependent older people. It traces its origins back to 1870 when it was established by the Religious Sisters of Charity in Cork. Initially located on the north side of the city, the hospital relocated in 2011 to purpose-built, modern facilities in Curraheen, Cork. Marymount is an independent voluntary hospital with University status and is registered as both a charity and a company limited by guarantee.

Marymount is governed by a voluntary Board of Directors comprising experts from diverse fields. Daily operations and management are led by a Chief Executive Officer, who is assisted by an Executive Management Team, along with a committed team of professionals.

Until the 1st of February 2024 Marymount operated as a section 39 organisation under the Health Act 2004, closely collaborating with statutory health services in the provision of care. The government secured the final stage of the agreement to re-designate the four voluntary adult hospices from a Section 39 agency to a Section 38 agency.
