Following on our Interventional Radiology (IR) service expansion, we are excited to build our pioneer IR nursing workforce at the new Royal Marsden IR unit at Sutton.
As we establish this new service, we are only considering applications for nurses working independently at a band 5 level looking to progress or already working at a band 6 level in IR/endoscopy/Cath lab/theatres/ICU.

• Recovery RN – 09.00-18.00 / 09.30-18.30
This will be a unique opportunity to contribute in shaping the future of how the service operates and gain an experience of opening a new clinical unit.
