3 weeks ago
Job summary
As a Band 6 Registered Nurse you will be accountable for the delivery of a high standard of cost effective nursing care to patients with a range of complex haematology/oncology conditions within a dedicated outpatient Cancer Unit. This will be based upon sound evidence based practice in line with the legal requirements, statutory rules and Health Board policies relating to practice and NMC Code of Conduct (2015).
The post holder will provide a high level of clinically effective, safe nursing intervention through assessment, planning of care, implementation and evaluation. The post holder will contribute to the care of patients requiring administration of systemic anti cancer and supportive treatments and communicate effectively at all times in conjunction with other team members contributing to developing and maintaining the department philosophy.
Main duties of the job
An opportunity has arisen to recruit a full time Band 6 registered nurse to join the current team on a permanent basis in Bronglais General Hospital in Aberystwyth.
The Cancer Treatment Day Unit at Bronglais General Hospital delivers day case anti-cancer treatment, including chemotherapy and immunotherapy, to people affected by both an oncological and haematological malignancy. The cancer treatment day unit is currently located in a temporary location while an extensive refurbishment of current unit is due for completion in 2025. This will be an exciting opportunity to be part of a team delivering treatment in a new facility.
Ideally, the successful applicants will have experience in oncology, haematology and systemic anti-cancer treatment administration. However, transferable skills will be considered, and where necessary specific training in the speciality will be given. Most importantly the successful applicant will be an acute, experienced nurse who can evidence credible management and leadership skills. We are looking for a registered nurse who can be adaptive, work autonomously and is keen to develop. Opportunities for learning at masters level, including non-medical prescribing, will be available to the successful applicants.
The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply.
Interviews will be held on 01/07/2024.
