Mental Health Nurse jobs in United Kingdom

This busy purpose-built Inpatient Haematology ward is looking to recruit an enthusiastic, motivated and compassionate individual with good organisational and communication skills, to complement the existing team. No prior chemotherapy or haematology experience is required as training will be provided.

The post holder must be flexible and willing to do shift work which will involve working long days, nights, weekends and bank holidays pro rota. Ward 11 and Ward 7 Right are two 10-bed Acute Haematology Inpatient areas, including a bone marrow transplant suite and isolation unit. In addition to the inpatient ward there is a Day-care Unit.

The unit’s activities include the administration of chemotherapy, supportive care, stem cell transplants and an integrated clinical trials unit. Successful applicants will be offered the opportunity to gain experience in both areas, inpatient and day-care when undertaking chemotherapy training.
