You’ll also be a key advocate for your patients, ensuring their physical and psychological needs are met with empathy and professionalism.

This is a unique opportunity for a motivated oncology nurse to thrive in a dynamic and supportive environment where innovation, professional development, and exceptional care come together. If you are passionate about making a difference in cancer care, we would love to hear from you.

What you’ll bring:

• A current NMC Nurse registration
• Experience in Chemotherapy administration
• Post registration experience within haematology or oncology setting or equivalent
• Clinical skills in venepuncture, cannulation, and intravenous drug administration
