About the Role
Working closely with the senior and operational managers, you will provide a highly visible and supportive presence, inspiring the professional development of nursing while ensuring the delivery of high quality, safe patient care across all areas within oncology and haematology.

The key focus will be patient/client and staff safety, patient experience, user engagement, quality care, clinical outcomes, staff development, and specialist training ensuring staff are able to safely deliver SACT.
The matron will have lead clinical responsibility in oncology and haematology (northern services) and support the care group in activities relating to the delivery of high quality services, including involvement in maintaining activity levels, managing service pressures and patient flow, and maintaining the highest standards of care. Day-to-day operational support to the Seamoor unit, which is our SACT day treatment unit, professional line manager to the specialty Clinical Nurse Specialists, and operational management of the Fern Centre, our cancer support centre.
Alongside the Clinical Matron role, you will deputise for the Lead Cancer Nurse, leading, influencing, developing, and expanding cancer services throughout the Trust and strategically influencing the direction of cancer nursing. This is an exciting opportunity to help fully integrate the services across RDUH to ensure patient pathways and policies are aligned and North Devon patients have an equitable service.
