An Exciting Opportunity with UHD Breast Cancer Specialist Nursing Teams
We have two new posts available for full-time and part-time roles to cover patients with primary breast cancer. The successful applicants will work alongside the current Breast Cancer CNS/ACP Teams across Poole and Bournemouth.
Role Overview
The role of this CNS is to support patients and their families throughout the adjuvant breast pathway. This includes:
- Ensuring timeliness of investigations and appointments through the pathway with awareness of Cancer Waiting Time Targets
- Being present at Breaking Bad News
- Offering support and information regarding diagnosis and treatment

A large part of this role is to support and help coordinate the introduction of Ribociclib for adjuvant treatment for HR positive, HER2 negative early breast cancer in adults as recommended by NICE.
This role includes working closely with members of the Breast Multidisciplinary Team, Primary and Tertiary Care as well as being able to work autonomously.

Service Changes
UHD are investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following merger and the New Hospital Programme.
This means that some services may move site this year or next, either temporarily or long term. Recruiting Managers interviewing for this role will be happy to answer any specific questions that you have at interview.
Note: If the role or service is relocated as part of a planned move, employees will not be eligible for excess mileage reimbursement. Travel from the postholder's home to the new work base will be considered a normal commute. Any other changes not related to this relocation will be managed according to the relevant Trust or National terms and conditions.
