We are seeking an enthusiastic, motivated and dynamic Band 7 Breast Care Clinical Nurse Specialist to join our established and supportive breast cancer nursing team.
This is an exciting opportunity to work within a high-performing multidisciplinary service that delivers daily one-stop diagnostic clinics and provides seamless care to patients from diagnosis, through treatment, and into living with and beyond cancer. You will play a pivotal role in supporting patients and their families, providing expert clinical guidance, personalised care and advocacy throughout their cancer journey.
Key Responsibilities

- Work closely with breast surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, allied health professionals and the wider multidisciplinary team to deliver an integrated service that supports patients from diagnosis through treatment and beyond.
- Contribute to complex decision-making, treatment planning and pathway coordination, ensuring a positive patient experience and high standards of care.
- Influence and develop nursing practice, particularly in areas such as enhanced recovery following breast surgery, survivorship and rehabilitation.
- Contribute to service improvement, clinical governance, education and professional development activities, while providing expert advice and support to colleagues.
