Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Northumbria Healthcare - NHCT Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are seeking to appoint a committed and enthusiastic Specialist Screening Practitioner to join our team.

This is an exciting time to join the team as we continue to implement the national initiative of age reduction in Bowel Cancer Screening. The age range will be reducing to 50 years of age. Lynch syndrome surveillance will also soon become part of the Bowel Cancer Screening service. Lynch syndrome is an inherited genetic syndrome which increases a patient's lifetime risk of developing various cancers, including bowel cancer.

The post involves providing high quality and seamless patient care for the North of Tyne population, who are being screened for bowel cancer. The post holder will work as an autonomous practitioner following a probation period and will be responsible for the delivery of care to service users across multiple sites of both trusts. The post will be based at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle with an additional office at North Tyneside General Hospital.

Successful applicants will require excellent communication, and holistic assessment skills, as well as a keen interest in endoscopy, polyp management and general cancer care. Previous experience in endoscopy, colorectal or cancer nursing would be advantageous but not essential, as would familiarity with health promotion practice and the running of nurse-led clinics. To ensure a patient centred service is offered, the ability to work across sites and on some evenings and Saturdays is also crucial. Therefore a valid driving licence and use of a vehicle for work is essential.
- To provide a screening service for patients participating in the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme North of Tyne.
