This is a part-time role requiring 30 hours of commitment each week.

We are seeking to appoint a Cancer Care Assistant to become a vital member of our urological cancer nursing team.

Our mission is to deliver exceptional cancer care and comprehensive support to all patients, and our dedicated team of Cancer Care Assistants plays an essential role in achieving this goal.

In this position, you will operate under the guidance of registered nursing staff, offering patients and their families general information and assistance regarding cancer-related matters and available services.
