We are seeking a dynamic and committed Senior Staff Nurse with a background in Haematology or Oncology to join our Day Care Unit at HCA at University College Hospital. Rated “Outstanding” by the CQC, this is one of our flagship specialist cancer centres, dedicated to delivering pioneering treatments and compassionate care. You’ll be part of a facility leading the way in cancer innovation, offering patients access to advanced therapies such as our JACIE accredited bone marrow/stem cell transplant service and our cutting-edge CAR T-cell therapy programme.

In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to enrol in leadership and clinical development programmes tailored to support your career progression. Whether you're looking to refine your clinical expertise or take the next step toward advanced leadership, you’ll have access to structured pathways that will help you achieve your goals while making a meaningful difference in the lives of patients every day.
If you're an experienced Oncology or Haematology nurse ready to take the lead in a highly respected, forward-thinking unit, we would love to hear from you. Join us, and be part of a team that’s changing the future of cancer care
What you’ll bring:
Registered General Nurse with valid NMC pin
