Job description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced stem cell transplant and cell therapy nurse to join the specialist nursing team in the Wessex BMTCT Programme at University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust as the Apheresis Lead Nurse.

We are a regional service providing blood and marrow transplantation and cellular therapy for a range of malignant and non malignant conditions. Apheresis is key to these patient pathways.

We also deliver plasma and red cell exchange for patients and extra corporeal photopheresis for post donor transplant patients requiring it.

Our department is a busy, exciting service working across departmental boundaries to deliver the most responsive and high quality apheresis care to patients who need it. Our specialist nurse team is a welcoming and cohesive team and consists of a Lead Nurse, BMTCT CNSs, CNS coordinators and care coordinators.

As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated 'Good' by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.

We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.

Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 30% lower than London and 17 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
