We are looking for a highly motivated qualified nurse who can demonstrate current experience/significant experience at Band 6/7 working in the field of lung cancer or oncology care or screening.
You will be responsible for the day-to-day delivery of lung cancer care services within the trust as agreed with the Lead Nurse, in accordance with Trust and national guidance.
You will work with patients being investigated and having a confirmed diagnosis of lung cancer or Mesothelioma, ensuring that national targets are met in the delivery of care.
At the heart of everything we do are our core values: Include, Respect, and Improve. We encourage you to embrace these values throughout the recruitment process and in your role with us.
Liaising with all appropriate members of the multi-disciplinary team and ensuring a seamless service between acute and primary care services.
Communicating very sensitive condition-related information to patients and relatives, requiring high levels of empathy and reassurance. This includes highly complex information that needs to be conveyed in easily understood language.
Ensuring the provision of appropriate verbal and written patient information, thus empowering the patient to make informed decisions.
Maintain own knowledge, competence, and skill level through regular clinical supervision, appraisal, personal development plans, and appropriate training programmes.
Work in partnership with other professional, health and social care organisations, trade unions, and voluntary sector organisations to embed these principles.
At East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general and specialist services we provide. Our ability to be flexible and innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services has never been more important than it is now.
We run the following hospitals:
* The Lister Hospital, Stevenage
* New Queen Elizabeth II (New QEII), Welwyn Garden City
* Hertford County, Hertford
* Mount Vernon Cancer Centre (MVCC), Northwood
We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation, and our staff and patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.
We are committed to a positive work-life balance for our employees. This means that any employee is entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns, and we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
