As a Clinical Nurse Specialist at our Cheltenham Hospital, you’re registered with the appropriate governing body and you bring the qualifications and experience relevant to your registration, including NMC. As well as post-registration experience, you will have experience in Oncology. Currently the service is limited to breast cancer but with a plan to expand the service to other cancers in the future.

• Be a valued addition to the team in our consultant and nurse-led service
• Work autonomously, managing a caseload
• Fully assess each patient’s needs, providing tailored treatment plans and care

Please note that our oncology service is still being developed and expanded within the hospital, so this is a really exciting time to join the team. The successful candidate will initially focus more on our Breast service to begin with but as the service expands, we cover other specialities. The service runs Monday - Friday 8am - 8pm, so we would like the person joining the team to be flexible within those hours.
