Oldham Care Organisation is part of the Northern Care Alliance, one of the largest NHS organisations in the country. The place where the world’s first IVF baby was delivered, Oldham is a town of pioneering firsts. Today, Oldham is responsible for delivering a range of acute and community health services across the local area and at The Royal Oldham Hospital. As a designated major trauma unit for Greater Manchester and one of only three vascular centres in Greater Manchester, Oldham is a specialist hospital for acute surgery and provides state-of-the-art onsite pathology services to the North West.

You will be supported through a comprehensive induction including training and will be required to attend a 3 day residential course to use the Bowel Cancer Screening database. You would be expected to complete a Specialist Screening Practitioner certificate within 12 months of employment at Liverpool John Moores University.

The office base for our screening services is currently on the Fairfield Hospital Site. However, you will be expected to work across all of the hospital sites within The Northern Care Alliance and in outreach clinics in the community.
