Job overview

Full time 37.5 hours per week. Fixed Term or Secondment for 8 months.

An opportunity has arisen for a staff nurse to join our team for 8 months to cover maternity leave. 

The Churchill unit is a friendly unit which provides oncology outpatient clinics and delivery of outpatient chemotherapy.  In addition, the department undertakes CVAD care, blood transfusions and  other supportive activities.

The Trust appreciates and values the contribution international nurses bring to the NHS. We also understand the support overseas nurses need to gain full registration once in the UK (via OSCE) and therefore we only recruit internationally to fill nursing vacancies when we can ensure support is in place. At this present time we aren’t in a position to offer that support and therefore will not accept applications from overseas nurses who only have Part 1 NMC registration. If that position changes in future we will clearly advertise our opportunities for international nurses to join our nurse team here in Bolton. Thank you for your understanding.

We are looking for a highly motivated nurse, with relevant experience and training in the delivery of Chemotherapy treatments for Cancer, although we will consider training  the right candidate for this role.
