We are currently seeking highly motivated Nurse to join our nurse led unit as SACT Band 6 nurse at Cathedral Day Unit at Kent & Canterbury Hospital.
Whilst this is a challenging role and requires someone who is flexible and adaptable to changing environments it is very rewarding, and rare opportunity and offers great career progression.
No one day is the same and draws on and enables the post-holder to use a variety of skills and expertise. You must like working with people and want to support the unit manager in making a real difference to our patients and families lives as well as make a positive contribution to the team and our service, while supporting the nursing team as they adapt to the changes within Chemotherapy.
PLEASE NOTE - WE CANNOT OFFER VISA SPONSORSHIP FOR THIS ROLE AS THIS IS A PART TIME VACANCY AND WILL NOT MEET THE SALARY THRESHOLD. If you hold a Graduate/Post Study work visa, you will only be able to work this role fixed term until the expiry date of your visa.
The posts offer:
• The opportunity to develop and maintain a professional portfolio
• The opportunity to help lead the nursing service across the chemotherapy unit to ensure a unified approach to care and consistent standards of care
• The opportunity to work in the much specialised area of cancer services
• The ability to manage empathetically emotional issues relating to stages in the patient’s journey
• The opportunity to be part of a team that works collaboratively with all care groups to develop a service for the care and management of patients with cancer.
• To gain the confidence to actively support Divisional initiatives and issues. The post holder is expected to carry out all relevant forms of care in which they are competent, without direct supervision, and may be required to supervise and support the training of both qualified and unqualified members of staff. These are just some of the reasons that make this a ‘great place to work’.
We are one of the largest hospital trusts in England, with five hospitals and community clinics serving a local population of around 800,000 people. Our vision is 'great healthcare from great people'. Everything we do is guided by our values: 'People feel cared for, safe, respected and confident that we are making a difference’. We have a new way of working at East Kent Hospitals, called 'We care'. It's about empowering frontline staff to lead improvements day-to-day. We're looking for compassionate people to be part of our improvement journey for the patients, families and carers we care for every day.
