Following the expansion of our Interventional Radiology (IR) service, we are excited to build our pioneer IR nursing workforce at the new Royal Marsden IR Unit in Sutton.

As we establish this new service, we are accepting applications from nurses who are currently working independently in IR or from other clinical areas such as endoscopy, cath lab, theatres, or ICU where you can evidence transferrable skills that are essential to the role.

Successful applicants will be expected to rotate through the different clinical areas within IR and demonstrate the required clinical skills, including:

• Assisting or scrubbing in the procedure room
• Providing nurse led conscious sedation

Shifts are allocated according to service needs every Tuesday and Thursday:

• Recovery RN: 09:00–18:00 or 09:30–18:30

This is a unique opportunity to help shape the future operation of the service and gain experience in opening a new clinical unit.
