Job Description
We're looking for a Senior Staff Nurse to join our Chemotherapy Day Unit at the newly opened Harborne Hospital in Birmingham. The Harborne Hospital opened in January 2024 and is a brand new £100 million, purpose-built 50 bed, multi-speciality private facility. Located on the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham campus, the hospital has a deep clinical infrastructure, equipment and facilities and expert, experienced teams to deliver full clinical pathways across a mix of specialties and sub-specialties at all levels of complexity including Cardiology, Cancer, and Complex Surgery. The Harborne Hospital is the 4th NHS partnership within this network, partnering with University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Trust.
Working alongside an experienced team of Chemotherapy Nurses (SACT), you'll help assess, plan, deliver, and evaluate high standards of specialist care while also being an advocate for the patient, ensuring all their medical, physical, and emotional needs are met by communicating effectively with them and their families.
It's a great opportunity to make a significant difference to the unit and its patients. In return, you'll have the chance to build a career at the forefront of Cancer care. With access to groundbreaking treatments currently not licensed on the NHS and our own on-site lab and chemotherapy production unit, you'll have all the tools you need to deliver truly exceptional levels of care for your patients in a modern, vibrant setting.
You'll also have much more autonomy day to day. Our clinical teams are very nurse-led, so you'll have more control over assessment and treatment decisions while having the support you need to develop your career into Sister or Matron roles, whether that's through regular development sessions from external speakers or one of our many funded courses.
At HCA UK, we care about what you care about. We care that you want to deliver the very best care. We care that you want a career you can be proud of. We care that you want working conditions that support your health and wellbeing. Let us care for you and your career, the same way you do for others.
What you'll bring:
* A current NMC Nurse registration
* Experience in Chemotherapy administration (SACT)
* Wide and evidence-based knowledge of systemic anti-cancer treatments (e.g. chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy) and the known and lesser-known side effects of these
