Summary

We are looking for a full time screening practitioner to support the nursing team within the Bowel Cancer Screening (BCS) team for a period of 12 months. We have been a designated BCS centre for the North Central London Sector since 2007, covering Camden, Islington, Haringey, Enfield and Barnet. The BCS nursing team support the BCS patients within the endoscopy procedure rooms. We work across UCH, Whittington hospital and about to commence lists at Chase Farm Hospital so you would need to be able to work across all three sites.



The bowel cancer screening team consists of 13 nurses working closely with administrative and medical staff. A majority of the nurses work longer days within a 4 day week. We can offer a flexible approach to work pattern although this would need to fit around the needs of the service.



The screening practitioner role is to support the specialist nurses with caring for any patient within the bowel cancer screening service. You will be responsible for direct data entry and accurate record keeping and acting as a patient advocate throughout their time with the screening service. The role will primarily consist of supporting patients within the endoscopy procedure and telephone advice and follow up.



Although knowledge of endoscopy is preferred, you would receive full training and induction and be allocated a mentor from within the nursing team.
