Our team works closely with a wide range of agencies to minimise disruption to daily life and ensure care is delivered as smoothly as possible.

As we cover a large geographical area, applicants must be able to drive and have access to a car. The role also includes participation in our 24/7 on‑call service, providing high‑quality palliative care to children who require this level of support. We are recruiting for two positions: a permanent Band 6/7 development post (upgraded to Band 7 on completion of competencies) and a temporary Band 6 post available as a 6 month secondment.

Main Duties of the Job Manage a defined caseload of children and young people with oncology needs. Continuously assess care needs, develop and evaluate programmes of care, and set standards of care. Provide specialist nursing care, treatment and advice to the specific patient group, and contribute to the development of the speciality service.

Ensure cost‑effective use of resources. Support the development of interdisciplinary and whole‑service working, promoting the sharing of good practice and the delivery of high‑quality, effective and efficient care. Provide training and education to staff groups, patients and families/carers.

Participate in the 24/7 on‑call service, delivering high‑quality palliative care to children who require this level of support.
