We are looking for an enthusiastic and innovative Registered Nurse to work in our Oncology and Haematology ward (Somersham Ward) to cover a secondment until 6th October 2025, 23 to 30 hours per week.
You will work within a close working team of nurses and the wider multidisciplinary team supporting a 25 bedded ward caring for patients undergoing chemotherapy, radioactive treatments, and peripheral stem cell transplants.
You will also support with palliative and supportive care.
Some Oncology or Haematology experience would be an advantage but is not essential as further training will be provided.
Internal applicants currently employed by ESNEFT will be offered on a secondment basis only. This will need to be discussed with your line manager.
