Poole, Poole, United Kingdom University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust Full time

About the Role

This exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Gynae-Oncology Cancer Nurse Specialist Team at University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust for a 12-month period. The successful applicant will work closely with the current Gynae-oncology CNS Team based at Poole Hospital, with the possibility of working on the Bournemouth site to cover sickness or leave, as well as contributing to the development of a UHD Gynae-Oncology Cancer CNS Service.

Key Responsibilities

The role supports patients and their families throughout the Gynae-oncology Cancer Pathway, ensuring timeliness of investigations and appointments through the diagnostic pathway, with awareness of Cancer Waiting Time Targets. The successful candidate will be present at Breaking Bad News, offering support and information regarding diagnosis and treatment, acting as the patient's advocate, and advising on symptom management. This role involves working closely with members of the Gynae Cancer Multidisciplinary Team, Primary and Tertiary Care, as well as working autonomously.

Requirements

We are seeking an enthusiastic nurse who is keen to make a difference in the care of those experiencing a life-changing diagnosis. While previous experience in Gynae/Oncology is desirable, it is not essential, as training will be provided. More important is a nurse who is highly organised, motivated to learn, with excellent communication and team-working skills.

About Us

Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued teammates and colleagues.

UHD are investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following merger and the New Hospital Programme. This means that some services may move site this year or next, either temporarily or long term. Recruiting Managers interviewing for this role will be happy to answer any specific questions that you have at interview.
