Band 4 Cancer Clinical Support Worker

4 weeks ago

Sutton Coldfield, United Kingdom University Hospitals Birmingham Full time

**Job summary**:
The Cancer Clinical Support Worker will form an integral part of the multidisciplinary team approach in providing personalised care interventions to patients diagnosed with cancer and their carers throughout the care treatment pathway and after care support. The Support Worker will work independently within the remit of the role but under the guidance and supervision of the Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS) and Personalised Care Team to coordinate and manage patients identified to the service by the CNS team.

The Cancer Clinical Support Worker will ensure patients are:

- Supported to regain as normal a life as possible
- Given advice about how to minimise their risk of developing further cancer related problems
- Given advice about possible future signs of cancer recurrence or long-term effects of treatment
- Enabled to re
- access specialist services without delay should they need to do so

(Improvising Outcomes: A Strategy for Cancer, 2011)

As part of a team, the cancer support worker will speak to patients to discuss what matters most to them through a holistic conversation and assessment. The cancer support worker will provide cancer information and/or signpost them to support services and resources and will develop a personalised care plan which is shared with the patient and specialist team and that this and other communications are documented on the Somerset Cancer Registry.

**Main duties, tasks & skills required**:
An exciting opportunity has arisen for two highly motivated and enthusiastic individuals to join this well-established specialist breast care nursing service at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Trust. One of these posts will primarily be based at the Good Hope Hospital site. They will need to be able to work on any of our Trust sites on occasion. These posts are full time. This post are offered as fixed term contracts for 24 months.

The post holders will work as part of the team, working closely with the Specialist Nurses but also alongside surgeons and oncologists. We aim to deliver a high quality service to our patients and this includes the implementation of patient initiated follow up (PIFU). Patients will be offered holistic needs assessments (HNAs) which the CSW will use to assess situations and to offer support. The CSW will need to discuss issues with patients over the telephone and face to face. They will also need to ensure patients on a self supported follow up programme have their needs met such as routine imaging. These patients need to be tracked on a database so IT skills would be an advantage.
