We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our Oncology Department supporting the clinical secretarial team. This is a great opportunity to contribute to the smooth running of our services and play a vital role in supporting patient care.
In this role, you’ll be proof-reading and editing clinical letters and reports, ensuring accuracy and clarity in patient communications. You’ll also carry out basic administrative tasks as needed, helping to keep things organised and efficient. You’ll be part of a team that works behind the scenes to support clinicians and improve patient experience.

- Is flexible and able to adapt to changing priorities
- Is confident using IT systems and thrives in a busy environment
- Holds GCSEs in English and Maths or equivalent and communicates professionally

Using AI for your application may not accurately represent your knowledge, skills, and experience and may result in a disconnect between your qualifications and our assessment of your application.
We encourage applicants to take the time to thoughtfully complete their applications; by doing so, you allow us to better understand your true potential and ensure a fair and transparent evaluation of your application. Over reliance on AI-generated content may diminish your chance of success.
