Job overview

Are you an experienced adult nurse ready for a new challenge? We have an opportunity for a Junior Sister/Charge Nurse to join the Haematology Day Unit, a fast paced unit caring for patients with a range of malignant and non-malignant Haematology conditions undergoing treatments such as chemotherapy.

Hours will be worked over 5 days 08:00 - 16:00 with flexibility if required.

Main duties of the job

The job is challenging and interesting as the treatments are different for each patient and so their care and needs are different too. The trials and protocols are varied and there's lots to learn. We are a friendly, experienced team, who have high standards and strive to deliver excellent patient care. We are aware that it's hard work, but this is a perfect opportunity for the right person looking to extend their skills.

You will have;

Excellent communication and leadership skills

Evidence of involvement in change management

Evidence of diplomacy and negotiation skills

Good knowledge of clinical information systems e.g. PAS and ICE

Relevant professional qualification

A portfolio of evidence showing achievements in practice/specialty

In return there are various training opportunities available on and off site and we would offer you a personal development plan tailored to your individual needs. You will be encouraged to expand and develop your knowledge, skills and competencies within a supported and friendly environment.
