• Managing symptoms, recognising oncology emergencies and escalating concerns appropriately.
• Reviewing upcoming treatments to ensure results, prescriptions and relevant clinical information are available.
• Working closely with consultants, clinical nurse specialists, pharmacy and allied health professionals to coordinate care.
• Mentoring junior nurses, healthcare assistants and students, supporting induction and helping colleagues develop their clinical confidence.
• Contributing to audits, clinical governance and improvements informed by patient feedback and evidence-based practice.

We are looking for:
You will be an experienced cancer nurse who understands the importance of kindness, clear communication and sound clinical judgement. You will enjoy sharing your knowledge, supporting colleagues and helping patients and their families feel informed and reassured.

Key Requirements:

• Registered Adult Nurse with current NMC registration.

• At least two years of post-registration experience in an acute oncology or haemato oncology setting.
• A UK accredited chemotherapy module and evidence of clinical competence.

What you will be part of
You will join a specialist outpatient team where strong working relationships and clear communication make a real difference to patients undergoing cancer treatment. Working closely with nurses, consultants, pharmacy colleagues and the wider multidisciplinary team, you will help patients navigate their care with confidence and provide support during what can be a challenging time. For an experienced oncology nurse, this is an opportunity to build on your specialist knowledge while developing your leadership and mentoring skills. Working alongside the Unit Manager and Clinical Practice Educator, you will contribute to staff education, practice development and improvements in care, while remaining closely involved in clinical nursing.
