Nuffield Health is Britain's largest not-for-profit healthcare organisation. Join us as a Senior Staff Nurse in our Guildford Hospital and play your part in building a healthier nation.

We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic nurse to join an established Chemotherapy Team.

We have an exciting opportunity for a highly skilled, motivated, confident chemotherapy nurse to join our Oncology Day Unit team at our Nuffield Health Guildford Hospital.

This post will support the Oncology patients through their cancer journey. Our Macmillan adopted unit accommodates up to 20 patients per day and treats a variety of cancers including Breast, Cervical, Ovarian, Pancreatic, GI cancers, Prostate and Haematology. You will work within a team of skilled chemotherapy nurses as well as part of a Multi-disciplinary team ensuring that our patients are treated with the best possible care.

You should have a minimum of two year's oncology experience including the administration of Chemotherapy, cannulation and use of CVAD's.

A Cancer qualification is desirable but not essential. There are plenty of opportunities for staff to develop their knowledge and skills and you will be offered support for your on-going professional development.
