Paediatric Oncology Children's Community Nurse

The successful candidate will provide care to Children and Young People in a community setting to avoid unnecessary visits to hospital as appropriate. You will be required to manage your own caseload whilst supporting the day-to-day service provision.

You will need to assess, plan, implement and evaluate a holistic programme of care for children with a generic condition working independently within the NMC Scope of Professional Practice and as a team member.

You will also contribute in further developing the Paediatric Oncology Shared Care Service in the East & North Hertfordshire NHS Teaching Trust.

At East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general & specialist services we provide & our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible & innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.

We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation; our staff & patients are at the heart of delivering this agenda

We understand that finding and starting a new job is an important life decision. If you need reasonable adjustments for a disability, or a life event, such as menopause - so that we can consider your application fairly & to get the best out of you during the selection process, please let us know.

We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. Employees are entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns & we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made & considered formally, & will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen
