This is an exciting time as we make changes to the way we deliver treatment to enhance the care for our patients who are living with and beyond cancer through direct on-site support, which will enhance patient experience, promote continuity and strengthen communication.

The main duties of the role is to support patients with their non-clinical needs and support patients receiving out-patient care away from their usual, local hospital. Acting as a main point of contact for patients, carers and wider healthcare teams ensuring the joining up of services, coordination, information and communication between all creates a seamless experience of care.

The post holder will need excellent communication skills and the ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team. As this is a pilot good IT skills are necessary to ensure accurate collection of data and patient experience.

The post holder will support people to navigate the complex health and social care system, providing input to patients from each of the respective 4 Trusts outside the tertiary centre (Barnsley, Rotherham, Doncaster, and Chesterfield) and become a regular point of contact for patients attending, enabling greater continuity by acting as a conduit between the patient and their site-specific CNS team.

To assist the NSO CNS within the daily management and support of people on a NSO pathway, from diagnosis transitioning through to supportive and palliative care. Acting as a source of support and information to patients and their families/carers, further aiming to identify any potential delays within the patient pathways, working to support and minimise the impact of these problems to the patient.

This important role is to help support and navigate patients, their families and carers through the Cancer pathway ensuring that the patient receives the very best cancer pathway experience with continual communication and support.

The role requires someone with exceptional organisational skills who can demonstrate great communication and interpersonal skills. A caring and sensitive attitude is essential as you will be dealing with patients, their families and carers.

They will be responsible for closely managing the patient tracking list (PTL), escalating operational issues and maximising available capacity by providing feedback to both clinical and non-clinical staff.

You will be working for an organisation which values and respects all of its staff and the community it serves. The Trust is a leader in the NHS and research sectors and provides excellent benefits for its staff. This includes commitments to professional development but also many policies to support employees in balancing their personal and professional lives.
