The role

Due to progression within our existing CNS team, this is an exciting opportunity to join the Haematology CNS team as a Band 7 Clinical Nurse Specialist. A high level of Haematology knowledge and experience will be required and we are happy to support and train the right person for this post. The successful candidates will work with specific patient sub-groups within Haematology and this can be tailored to the skillset of the successful candidate

What you'll do

You will provide specialist support for patients receiving treatments within the Haematology speciality. You will be providing key worker support alongside the existing CNS's within these specialities for patients receiving treatments within the Haematology Department. You will need to have excellent clinical skills and standards within the speciality and a wide knowledge of treatments. You will also have a passion for being able to make a difference for patients who are going through a life changing, and in some cases life-limiting diagnosis and treatment. The postholders will be expected to undertake clinical examination and prescribing within this role so if these qualifications are not held currently they will need to be a priority once in post.

Excellent communication skills will be essential in order to provide high quality information to the patient in a way in which they can understand and you will need to be confident in breaking bad news if this is required.

For full duties and responsibilities please refer to the attached document entitled Job Description.
