An exciting opportunity has arisen for highly motivated and enthusiastic registered nurses to join the Cancer Nursing Team within our busy Chemotherapy Day Unit. Our Day Units are located at both Dewsbury and Pontefract Hospitals. Whilst these specific vacancies are based primarily at our Dewsbury site, successful candidates must be willing to travel and work across both locations as operational needs require. We have full and part time vacancies available for dedicated registered nurses to provide outstanding clinical care for patients within the pathway for Oncology and Haematology. The successful candidates will work within an established, friendly team to deliver a high quality, safe and effective Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT) Service, ensuring an exceptional patient experience. A SACT competency (UKONS Passport), previous experience within Oncology, Haematology, or SACT service would be advantageous but not essential, as full education and ongoing support to acquire the passport will be provided once in post. You must be IT literate to navigate our various clinical systems, and are able to communicate well. Please apply without delay as we may close the advert early if sufficient applications are received.

Our team is friendly, passionate and always seeking better ways to work through research and innovation.
