An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Lymphoma Clinical Nurse Specialist to deliver comprehensive specialist haematological care to patients and their families, ensuring the highest standard of personalised nursing care is delivered in partnership with all members of the multi-disciplinary team.
The haematology department at the Western comprises a 19 bedded inpatient ward and ambulatory day treatment unit. The department provides care for mainly malignant haematological conditions and is the Regional autologous stem cell transplant unit for the South East of Scotland. We are also a CAR-T cell therapy centre.
Haematology Day Treatment at the WGH provides both systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT) and supportive therapies to a wide range of both malignant and non-malignant haematological conditions providing care in 18 chairs and a further 12 chairs in an extended day case area to facilitate the transfer of care from an in-patient to out-patient model.
The successful applicant will preferably have experience either within a Haematology or Oncology setting.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

AI Tools and Application Tips
AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can be great for planning and preparing your application but your answers must be your own.
- Show us the real you: Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically.
- Use AI wisely: It’s fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don’t let it write your answers.
- Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.
Tip: Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you, not an AI tool.
