Cancer Education Programme Facilitator - FTC
Band 7
Job overview
The Cancer Education Programme Facilitator role is to support the improvement in the quality of cancer care provided by health and care professionals across Surrey and Sussex. The role includes facilitating and delivering training on cancer from prevention and screening, through treatment and care to living with and beyond cancer.
Main duties of the job
The post holders are expected to be registered health professionals (nurse or allied health professional) with long term conditions (LTCs) expertise. A background in clinical education would be a significant advantage. Cancer knowledge is desirable; however, it can be achieved by building relationships with local Trust Clinical Nurse Specialists, multi-disciplinary teams (MDTs) in secondary care as well as learning and development.
The post holder will work closely with existing teams in the localities including Cancer Clinical Leads, Cancer Commissioners and Cancer Alliance Clinical Leads to ensure clear definition of roles and defined locally agreed pathways. They will develop systems and processes, to enable the pathway to be integrated and ensure the role is embedded, complementing existing service provision.
The post holder will work independently to facilitate and inform the interface of cancer pathways between health and social care and support the implementation of national/local guidance. The post holder will also identify and highlight any gaps in service provision.
Working for our organisation

Recognising that our 5000 colleagues are our greatest strength, we offer a comprehensive health and wellbeing program along with a commitment to developing and advancing your career. Our diverse and welcoming Royal Surrey family will ensure you that you feel valued from your initial interview through your entire tenure.
We are clinically led and provide joined up care by bridging the gap between hospital and community services alongside regional specialist cancer care. Our main acute hospital site is in Guildford with community hospital sites at Milford, Haslemere and Cranleigh. We provide adult community health services in homes across Guildford and Waverley.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) have given us an overall rating of Outstanding.
Royal Surrey has a strong reputation and history to build on. We are proud of our achievements and we are investing in our colleagues through our commitment to supporting professional development as well as investing more than £45 million in our physical environment and new equipment in the next few years. There has never been a better time to join us.
Although it isn't the Trusts normal practice, adverts may close early, so you are encouraged to submit an application as soon as possible.
