It is an exciting time to join the trust, with Midland Metropolitan University Hospital recently opened. The chemotherapy team have recently moved into a beautiful new building on the Sandwell site and are looking to expand their team.
We are looking for dynamic and motivated chemotherapy trained nurses to join us. You should be competent in cannulation and phlebotomy and have excellent communication skills.
The unit is currently entirely nurse led, so prescribing skills would be an advantage, but a willingness to undertake assessment and prescribing courses is essential. Other training and development will be tailored to the individual nurse.
We actively support professional development through provision of places on National Study Days and Conferences where appropriate.

About us
Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWBT) is an integrated care organisation with a budget of approximately £600 million and over 7,000 staff. Diversity and social care is at the core of what we do as the Trust provides Community and Acute Services to over half a million people in an urban centre that demands massive regeneration and has substantial premature mortality.
Our new acute hospital, the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), opened in 2024 and is providing care to our local population from first class, purpose-built premises. The development of the new hospital will play an important role in the regeneration of the wider area and in improving the lives of local people and reducing health inequalities.
We have three newly emerging strategic objectives:
1. Our People - to cultivate and sustain happy, productive and engaged staff
2. Our Patients - to be good or outstanding in everything we do
3. Our Population - to work seamlessly with our partners to improve lives
