Job description

Job Overview

Due to progression within our existing CNS team, this is an exciting opportunity to join the Haematology CNS team as a Band 7 Clinical Nurse Specialist. A high level of Haematology knowledge and experience will be required and we are happy to support and train the right person for this post. The successful candidates will work with specific patient sub-groups within Haematology and this can be tailored to the skillset of the successful candidate. Set working days can be considered and happy to consider part time working or job share

Main duties of the job

You will provide specialist support for patients receiving treatments within the Haematology speciality. You will be providing key worker support alongside the existing CNS's within these specialities for patients receiving treatments within the Haematology Department. You will need to have excellent clinical skills and standards within the speciality and a wide knowledge of treatments. You will also have a passion for being able to make a difference for patients who are going through a life changing, and in some cases life-limiting diagnosis and treatment. The postholders will be expected to undertake clinical examination and prescribing within this role so if these qualifications are not held currently they will need to be a priority once in post.

Excellent communication skills will be essential in order to provide high quality information to the patient in a way in which they can understand and you will need to be confident in breaking bad news if this is required.

Working for your organisation

You will become part of a close knit, friendly senior team who rely on, support and encourage each other on a daily basis. We have an excellent working relationship with our wider MDT including consultant team, junior medical and nursing teams, therapies teams, treatment units and inpatient ward.

Our Poppy’s Promise Commitment

We believe that compassionate care sits at the heart of everything we do. Every member of our team — clinical or non-clinical — plays a vital role in ensuring that patients, families, and colleagues are treated with dignity, empathy, and respect at all times.

We expect all staff to demonstrate compassion not only through their words, but through their actions: by listening attentively, communicating clearly and kindly, and recognising individual needs, feelings, and circumstances of those in our care.

Effective communication is central to safe and high-quality healthcare. We value colleagues who take the time to understand others, explain information in a meaningful way, and respond to concerns with patience and understanding.

By joining our team, you are committing to uphold these values — ensuring that every patient feels heard, respected, and valued, and that compassion is embedded in every interaction, every day.
