Main duties of the job
We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Breast Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) to lead the development and delivery of specialist breast pain pathways and clinics within our Breast Services team. You will join an established and forward-thinking ACP team that is continuing to grow and evolve. The team is committed to delivering high-quality, autonomous practice while actively contributing to service innovation and pathway redesign. You will be supported by experienced ACP colleagues and have opportunities to collaborate, share best practice, and further develop your leadership and clinical skills. This role offers the chance not only to contribute to a developing service but also to help shape the future direction of the Breast ACP practice within the organisation.
The successful candidate will be an experienced Advanced Clinical Practitioner with a strong background in breast services, including having worked independently in assessment and management within Two-Week Wait (2WW) clinics and family history pathways. You will demonstrate a high level of clinical competence in the assessment of breast symptoms, with the ability to provide safe, effective, and patient-centred care across a range of presentations. A recognised Master’s level module in Clinical Breast Examination is essential, alongside a commitment to maintaining advanced clinical skills and up-to-date knowledge in breast care.

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
