Cancer Lead Nurse
Equivalent Band 8 dependent on experience
Spire Hartswood



Make a difference with your passion for compassionate cancer care


At Spire Healthcare, we pride ourselves on a high quality service, that is provided by a friendly and dynamic team. Working in the most modern surroundings with access to cutting-edge treatments and equipment, our staff are encouraged to pursue their ambitions with extensive training and development opportunities. It makes for a particularly appealing work environment – one that you could now join.


In this newly created post based in Spire Hartswood, you will play a key role in our Cancer Pathway Service. Accredited by Macmillan, this valuable provision covers the entire spectrum of cancer services, from initial cancer tests and diagnosis to surgery, breast care and chemotherapy. Working closely with your colleagues to treat up to eight patients a day, you will be supported by the Specialist Care Centre in Great Baddow and will have access to our extensive facilities that includes three theatres plus an on-site pharmacy and physiotherapy department. Managing the team’s budget and resources, you will therefore seek to enhance our capabilities, ensuring clinical excellence and managing risk. Putting patient safety at the heart of everything you do, you will work closely with the Hospital Director and Head of Clinical Services to ensure your high standards are stamped across every aspect of the patient experience.


With the service running from 8am until 9pm, Monday to Friday, you’ll be expected to work on a rota basis, with occasional evening attendance at patient and consultant events. As such, you will be a flexible team-player, with a solid understanding of the entire cancer pathway. Commercially astute, you will work with the team to constantly improve our service and seek out new opportunities, and your ability to maintain and improve our clinical standards will ensure your patients have only good things to say. As a registered Nurse with a qualification in cancer care, it would be useful if you can work hands-on with patients, though this isn’t an essential requirement. What is essential is that you are capable of monitoring the success of our services, with the written capabilities to produce detailed reports and the communication skills needed to inspire a collaborative enthusiasm for producing consistently great results.


With the added bonus that you will never be on-call or be expected to work weekends, this fantastic position also benefits from the Spire Bonus scheme. Supported by senior management who are keen for you to make your mark, this is a position with the unique opportunity to make a difference every single day. So if you’re ready to take on an epic challenge in this unique team, then we’d love to hear from you.
