Breast Care Nurse

Qualified Breast Care Nurse

Location: Exeter, Devon

Hours: 21.6 hours per week (Monday–Wednesday)

Are you an experienced Breast Care Nurse passionate about providing exceptional care and supporting women through some of the most important moments in their lives? We're looking for a fully qualified Breast Care Nurse to join our friendly team in Exeter.

Please note: At this time, we are only able to consider applicants who are already qualified and experienced in breast care nursing. Unfortunately, we cannot offer training opportunities for this role.

The North and East Devon Breast Screening Service invites around 100,000 women for screening every 3 years. Our static screening unit at Matford Business Centre offers both screening and assessment, while our two mobile units cover 19 community sites across North and East Devon – from supermarket and council car parks to hospital grounds. Patients needing treatment are referred to the Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Trust for surgical and oncology services.

This is a role where you can truly make a difference, offering not only clinical expertise but also vital emotional and informational support.

 
What you'll be doing

As a Breast Care Nurse at InHealth, you'll be a key part of our multidisciplinary team, ensuring every woman receives compassionate, high-quality care during their assessment journey.

You will:

• Provide professional nursing care, reassurance, and support to women undergoing breast assessment investigations
• Identify women who may need extra support and guide them with clarity and compassion through treatment pathways
• Offer emotional and practical support to patients and their families, signposting or referring when appropriate
• Support patients at high familial risk of breast cancer with clear, evidence-based advice
• Ensure patients have the right information to make informed decisions about their treatment
• Act as a trusted resource for colleagues, sharing knowledge and promoting best practice
• Champion patient-centred care across our screening service area

 
What we're looking for

We'd love to hear from you if you are:

• A qualified Breast Care Nurse with substantial experience in breast care (minimum 5 years post-registration as an RGN)
• Skilled in supporting women through the challenges of diagnosis and treatment
• An excellent communicator – empathetic, professional, and confident in handling sensitive conversations
• Organised, adaptable, and able to prioritise effectively in a busy clinical environment
• A strong team player who can also work independently
• Committed to maintaining high standards of confidentiality, professionalism, and patient care

Knowledge of NBSS systems, the NHS Breast Screening Programme, or Breast Cancer Care guidelines would be an advantage but is not essential.

 
Why join us?

This is a rewarding role where you'll be part of a team making a tangible difference to women's lives every day. You'll have the chance to work innovatively, share your expertise, and deliver care that truly puts patients first – all while being supported by a collaborative, forward-thinking organisation.

Ready to make a difference?
