Job description

These are exciting times for the progressive, rapidly expanding Haematology/Oncology Daycare at UCH. We provide highly specialised care for a wide variety of patient groups within haematology and oncology, between 8am and 8pm Monday to Saturday. Staff in this friendly and supportive team develop a range of advanced skills and knowledge by rotating between the 4 main areas of Daycare. Our Supportive care provides holistic care for haemoglobinopathy patients as well as follow-up and treatments for patients who have undergone high dose chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant. We have a busy and varied chemotherapy suite; and a highly respected Apheresis service which includes the peripheral blood stem cell harvest programme, and therapeutic plasma exchange. We have received a great deal of positive publicity for our Ambulatory Care project, where patients undergo high dose chemotherapy and bone marrow transplants as a day-case while staying in a nearby hotel. The Haematology/Oncology Unit as a whole is a sociable, fast moving and progressive area which actively supports nurse led activities and research and offers excellent opportunities for professional and personal development.

The successful candidate will be part of a large dynamic team caring for patients with both Malignant and non-malignant haematological, oncological and head and neck disorders. The candidate must have an NVQ level 2 qualification (or equivalent) and experience of working in an acute setting. Venepuncture is desirable although not essential as training will be provided to the successful candidate.

We have a highly skilled, diverse team of staff working in MCC daycare in a very nurse-led environment. You will be able to develop key working relationships with all members of the multi-professional team, including nursing and medical staff, allied health professionals and support workers.

We are an extremely professional team that work in a fast-paced, evolving unit with an excellent reputation for our care and services. Alongside the working environment you will have access to social events and staff well-being from the staff who organize team events to access to complementary therapy on the unit.
