We have a new and exciting opportunity for enthusiastic, highly motivated individuals to join our Cancer Business Unit within our Oncology department as a Clinical Nurse Specialist supporting the patient pathways for metastatic and non-metastatic cancers.
You will be joining an established team of dynamic metastatic CNS's. You will be part of a team that delivers specialist nursing whilst maintaining and developing a quality service. You will act as the patient's advocate maintaining privacy and dignity and provide advice and support to junior staff and learners in all aspects of the delivery of high-quality care.
This role will also provide support, advice and education to patients/significant others in the management of their care.
