Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN) - Psycho-oncology Team
We are seeking a Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN) to join the Psycho-oncology Team at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust — a CQC-rated 'Good' organisation at the forefront of cancer care.
This is a permanent, part-time post (15 hours per week), commencing October 2026 following a retirement. Our multidisciplinary team comprises psychiatrists, mental health nurses, a clinical psychologist, counsellors, and administrative staff, working collaboratively to support oncology patients facing significant psychological challenges.
The role is primarily Monday and Tuesday, on site, within a Monday–Friday service (8:30am–4:30pm). Some flexibility to vary working days in line with service needs will be required.
You will provide psychological support to inpatients and outpatients, contributing meaningfully to ongoing service development. The service focuses on those with severe mental health difficulties, whilst our broader aim is to promote psychological wellbeing across the Trust for all people affected by cancer.
We are looking for someone with a genuine commitment to patient care, strong interpersonal skills, and the emotional resilience to work compassionately within a complex oncology environment.
