The aim of the role is to make sure that people living with cancer can access the right support, at the right time.

The post holder will take an active role in contributing towards the development and implementation of cancer survivorship initiatives enabling people affected by cancer to navigate the health and social care system and become self-supportive i.e. co-ordinating health and wellbeing clinics to enable independence and support self-management as appropriate.

The post holder will co-ordinate care by providing a single point of access for cancer patients including rapid re-entry into the system for those people identified as having urgent or specialist needs.

It is an exciting time to join the newly formed Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

We run two busy hospital sites in Bedford and Luton. Our 7,500 staff provide high quality care for a growing population of around 700,000 across Bedfordshire and the surrounding areas.

You will be joining a friendly, high performing Trust committed to ensuring the health and wellbeing of staff. As one of the largest NHS Trusts in our region you will have access to a programme of high quality training and development to help you grow your career. Travel between hospital sites may be required.

We have state-of-the art facilities placing us at the heart of cutting edge health care. The Trust continues to be committed to delivering the best patient care using the best clinical knowledge and technology available.
