Job description

Our nurse-led service offers apheresis, supportive care, and venesection. We care for patients with haematological cancers, sickle cell disease, and other haematology conditions. Our aim is to provide expert care to help patients avoid hospital admissions and manage their disease in an ambulatory setting.

We are currently open Monday to Friday, 08:00 - 20:00. Shift patterns typically involve 4 x 9.5-hour shifts per week. We do not currently operate on weekends; however, we open a reduced service on some bank holidays to support the service.

We are seeking experienced and motivated nurses to join our team on the Haematology Day Unit. We want nurses eager to develop their clinical skills and competence, with aspirations to become future leaders in haematology nursing within an ambulatory setting.

This advert is open to all applicants with an active Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) PIN. Please note, this does not include the Personal Reference Number (PRN) used during the pre-OSCE application process. If you only have a PRN, we kindly ask that you do not apply for this post.

For more information on applying for international nurse or midwifery positions, please contact Capital Nurse or Capital Midwife at Capital Nurse and Midwife.

We seek individuals motivated, with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability to organize, prioritize, and coordinate in a challenging, fast-paced environment. You will be supported by a strong team, including the Ward Sister, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, and the inpatient Matron team.

You will have the opportunity to develop and enhance your skills within a haemato-oncology setting with the necessary support and training. We are looking for candidates with a strong desire to deliver personalized care to patients with haematological diseases, working effectively as part of the nursing and wider team. The successful candidate will have acute setting experience and a commitment to developing skills, knowledge, and leadership in a fast-paced environment. Opportunities include developing skills in apheresis, ultrasound-assisted cannulation, femoral line placement, and bone marrow biopsy. Informal visits or phone calls are strongly recommended.
