OUR VALUES IN ACTION

●Care and Compassion ●Quality and Teamwork ●Dignity and Respect ●Openness, honesty and responsibility


BORDERS GENERAL HOSPITAL
Borders Macmillan Centre
Senior Charge Nurse
Permanent. 37hrs
Band 7

NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay.  This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff.  This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours.  However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period, for which you would be paid, until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Hiring Manager.


Would you like to lead an already motivated and compassionate nursing Team as a Band 7 Senior Oncology Charge Nurse?

The Borders Macmillan Centre, nurse-led SACT facility is based in Borders General Hospital, treating 26-30 people per day, working in closely with onsite haematologists, NHS Lothian Oncologists and wider members of the Cancer Specialist team.

The successful post holder will demonstrate high professional standards, acting as a role model, to manage and lead the SACT team. Working autonomously, clinical decision making and excellent communication skills are essential in managing the safe care and delivery of SACT. The post holder will work in close collaboration with NHS Borders Lead SACT nurse, Nurse Consultant in Cancer and other multi-professionals within the South East Scotland Cancer network region.

Applicants are required to have extensive post registration experience with relevant band 6 or equivalent management experience. Experience in a systemic-anti cancer therapy (SACT) environment is desirable but not essential as training will be provided. Evidence of strong leadership qualities, managing a small nursing team, excellent communication skills, and respectful team working are key elements of the role.

Commitment to professional development and ability to share learning within Oncology specialties are essential. Non-medical prescribing and clinical decision making qualifications are desirable but not essential. Peer support and professional development are supported.

Please contact : Lynda Taylor, Nurse Consultant in Cancer for further information - lynda.taylor@borders.scot.nhs.uk
