The role is focussed on providing general information/support about cancer and cancer services, to enable people to navigate the health and social care system and make choices that are best for their cancer and their life before, during and after treatment.
A key aspect of the role involves daily and direct (e.g. face to face and telephone) communication with patients, relatives, carers, and health and social care professionals. The nature of the communication required is sensitive due to the nature of cancer. Communication in this context requires a high degree of empathy, understanding, diplomacy, honesty and integrity.
You will proactively identify patient and carer needs using knowledge, approved tools/procedures to ensure that people get the right support to meet their needs. Coordinate access to the right information/education resources to support people in making decisions about aspects of their care, enabling independence, and develop a partnership approach to empower the patient and carers.
The role requires use of judgment in responding to the needs of individuals. The level of judgment required relates to identifying the complexity of the situation, providing appropriate advice and escalating to the registered practitioner where appropriate. S/he will undertake both routine and specially identified tasks for which they have been trained/assessed as competent.

Carry out administrative duties required by the role.
Attend and actively participate in team / group meetings as required.
GSTT, as a leading NHS Foundation Trust, and Macmillan, as the country’s leading cancer charity, have formed a ground-breaking partnership which aims to transform cancer care in the UK by researching, developing and promoting new models of care. This partnership commits to ensure that every cancer patient treated at the Trust and their loved ones have access to the best possible care, support and information.
Although directly employed by GSTT, this post is also one of a network of over 8000 Macmillan health and social care roles that Macmillan supports across the UK (known as Macmillan Professionals).
