Job overview
Have you got what it takes to provide specialist support and advice to patients with cancer? Are you highly motivated and driven to oversee, co-ordinate and improve patient care? Do you possess exceptional communication, interpersonal, clinical, and professional leadership skills to encourage and promote best outcomes for patients, their relatives, and carers?

This role is your gateway to a rewarding career in oncology. Bring your passion and drive and let us help you become the best cancer nurse you can be.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will work as an important member of the Multidisciplinary Team within Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust providing specialist nursing advice and support to patients receiving Non-Surgical Oncology (NSO) outpatient care away from their usual, local hospital.
Be responsible for supporting the patient whilst attending that NSO outpatient appointment, identifying and addressing any supportive care needs and communicating these effectively back to the trust CNS team in order that care is seamless and not fragmented.
Provide input and care to patients from each of the four respective trusts outside the tertiary centre (Barnsley, Rotherham, Doncaster, and Chesterfield) and become a regular and therefore familiar point of contact for patients attending, enabling greater continuity by acting as a conduit between the patient and their site-specific CNS team.

You will be working for an organisation which values and respects all of its staff and the community it serves. The Trust is a leader in the NHS and research sectors and provides excellent benefits for its staff, including commitments to professional development and many policies to support employees in balancing their personal and professional lives.
