We are looking for a kind, caring and motivated nurse to join our passionate and highly skilled multi-professional team, with a genuine interest to develop or enhance competency in Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT).

Staff without driving licences will still be able to participate, supporting inclusivity and enabling flexible cover for last-minute sickness, As a team we aspire to be compassionate, supportive, personal and open; patient and family experience is central to everything we do. Therefore, together with solid clinical and technical skills, we expect a deep awareness of the special needs of our patients, along with the ability to support and care for them and their families throughout their treatment. You will be key to ensuring that patients and their families receive good quality care and ensure that their cancer journey is positively influenced.
