Summary

A Vacancy at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust.

We currently have a chemotherapy Band 5 nurse post available within our chemotherapy departments.

This year, our Cancer Business Unit has undergone significant investment to support the next stage of the workforce plan. These roles are part of a number of new roles the Trust are recruiting to in order to deliver outstanding care to our cancer patients and shape the future of our Cancer Services.

Would you like to become a highly skilled Chemotherapy Nurse? If so, you will be on the path of career-long learning that offers great challenges, rewards and professional growth within our chemotherapy units.

Due to expansion within the service, this post is cross site working and you may be asked to work at RDH, QHB or FNCH. However, due to the clinical demand this role will start with a base at the Combined Day Unit (CDU) at the Royal Derby Hospital.

The role is responsible and accountable for the delivery of high quality, effective, and compassionate nursing care. This will be in line with local, Trust wide and national policies, procedures, values and behaviours.

You will be a compassionate and highly motivated Nurse with a drive to support the Nursing Team to improve the Outpatient experience and be part of the ever evolving and exciting speciality of cancer care.

The Combined Day Unit has gone through significant positive change with further exciting changes to come. This is a busy unit which delivers systemic anti-cancer treatments for Haematology and Oncology patients, supportive therapies and blood product administration. The cross site working would be essential due to the expansion of the service.

We currently have an opportunity for a Band 5 Registered Nurse to join our innovative and forward thinking team. If you have the drive, enthusiasm and compassion to develop your skills and knowledge, then we could be exactly what you are looking for.

Experience within either speciality is preferable but not essential, as support and guidance will be provided.
