Description
We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated Band 7 to join Child and Young People's Cancer Services as a Young Adult Sarcoma Clinical Nurse Specialist. The post is full-time (37.5 hours/week), Band 7, 18-month fixed term.
The role of Clinical Nurse Specialist is pivotal in supporting the delivery of high standards of care to all patients, their family, and significant others. The successful individual will provide effective and visible leadership, ensuring high standards of nursing care are provided and drive forward both service development and quality improvement, ensuring we promote patient safety and a positive patient experience.
The Young Adult (YA) Cancer Service is part of the Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Service, the largest service of its kind in the UK.
