About the Role
We are looking to recruit a Cancer Support Worker to join our cancer rehab team at the Royal Berkshire Hospital.
We strive to provide excellent quality cancer and holistic care to all of our patients, and our friendly team of Cancer Support Workers play a key part in this.
Key Responsibilities
- Work under the supervision of registered nurses, providing patients and carers with general information and support about cancer related issues and cancer services.
- Assist the team with administrative duties helping to ensure the safe and timely follow-up of patients who are undergoing surveillance after cancer treatment.
- Provide administrative duties and support to the Clinical Nurse Specialists.
- Engage in daily and direct (e.g. face-to-face and telephone) communication with patients, relatives, carers, and other health and social care professionals.
- Work closely with the Clinical Nurse Specialists to prepare clinics and may track patients on surveillance using a variety of electronic systems.
- Assist in the administration of nurse-led clinics and holistic needs assessments and in the preparation of written and electronic patient information. You may also be required to carry out 'buddy calls' to vulnerable, isolated patients escalating any concerns to the registered nursing team.
- Assist in the setting up and running of well being events for patients.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
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
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
Skills and Qualifications
- Excellent communication and organisational skills, and work well within a small team.
- Although each of our support worker posts supports a specific cancer team you may be asked to support other teams at times and the Cancer Support Workers also act as department fire wardens on a rota basis.
