Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience, a £5k Golden Hello, Shift Allowance (if applicable) + Benefits (pension, health cover, flexible benefits and excellent career development)
We’re looking for a Junior Sister to join our Oncology Unit at The Christie Private Care, currently rated “Outstanding” by the CQC. HCA Healthcare UK has developed a dedicated private centre in partnership with The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester. The Christie Private Care treats private patients with a full range of diagnostic, inpatient, surgical, day case and outpatient treatment all on one site.
The Oncology Inpatient Unit enables nurses to deliver high standards of holistic care to patients with cancer, and each member of the team has specific expertise in treating and supporting patients through their cancer diagnosis, treatment and beyond.
We individualise care to the need of each patient, providing full treatment plans from diagnostic assessments to surgery, chemotherapy and anti-cancer drug therapies, radiotherapy and supportive care.
Working alongside an experienced nursing team you’ll help assess, plan, deliver and evaluate high standards of specialist care while also being an advocate for the patient, ensuring all their medical, physical and emotionally needs are met by communicating effectively with them and their families.
It’s a great opportunity to make a significant difference to the unit and its patients. In return, you’ll have the chance to build a career at the forefront of Cancer care. With access to ground breaking treatments currently not licenced on the NHS.
You’ll also have much more autonomy day to day. Our clinical teams are very nurse led so you’ll have more control over assessment and treatment decisions while having the support you need to develop your career into Sister or Matron roles, whether that’s through regular development sessions from external speakers or one of our many funded courses, including masters level qualifications.
At HCA UK we care about what you care about. We care that you want to deliver the very best care. We care that you want a career you can be proud of. We care that you want working conditions that support your health and wellbeing. Let us care for you and your career, the same way you do for others.
What you’ll bring:
- A current NMC Nurse registration
- Experience in Chemotherapy administration
- Post registration experience within a oncology setting
