This is an exciting opportunity for a Registered General Nurse to join the Head and Neck CNS team for maternity leave cover over a 12-month period.
In this role, you will work closely with the Head and Neck Clinical Nurse Specialists and other members of the Multi-Professional Team to support the patient throughout their Head and Neck Cancer Journey.
We require an enthusiastic, forward-thinking, and motivated member of staff to join this busy service. This role will give you an excellent understanding of the Head and Neck Cancer patients' experience and help build on your knowledge and skills to deliver high-quality care.
The ideal candidate will have Head and Neck and/or oncology experience and some knowledge in the care of Head and Neck Cancer patients.
Following a local induction, you will help provide support, education, and specialist advice to patients, carers, and health professionals in Head and Neck Cancer.
