Job overview
Due to movement within our existing CNS team, and a further post funded for 2 years by the Cancer Alliance, this is an exciting opportunity for 2 experienced Oncology nurses to join a well-established and supportive team to provide excellent clinical care for Oncology patients. A high level of previous Oncology knowledge and experience will be required for this post, but we are happy to support and train the right person.
Main duties of the job
You will provide specialist support for patients receiving oncological treatments within the colorectal/gynae Oncology specialty. You will be providing key worker support alongside the existing CNS's within these specialties for patients receiving either chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or supportive anti-cancer treatments within the Oncology Department. You will need to have excellent clinical skills and standards within the specialty and a wide knowledge of oncological treatments. You will also have a passion for making a difference for patients who are going through a life-changing, and in some cases life-limiting, diagnosis and treatment.
Excellent communication skills will be essential in order to provide high-quality information to the patient in a way they can understand, and you will need to be confident in breaking bad news if required.
Working for your organisation
You will become part of a close-knit, friendly senior team who rely on, support, and encourage each other daily. We have an excellent working relationship with our wider MDT, including the consultant team, junior medical and nursing teams, therapies teams, treatment units, and inpatient ward.
