Be part of something new. Help us build a SACT service from the ground up.
Our new Guildford SACT unit opens in December 2026 – and we’re looking for experienced Senior SACT Nurses to join our founding team.
This is your opportunity to join GenesisCare’s largest SACT unit to date, with 11 individual treatment pods, in a brand-new, purpose-built environment designed around patient comfort, privacy and high-quality care.
But this isn’t simply a new building. You’ll be joining at the beginning of something – helping shape how the service operates, supporting the development of the team and establishing the standards of care that will define the unit.
If you’re an experienced SACT Nurse looking for a role where you can use your expertise, develop your career and make a genuine difference, we’d love to hear from you.
Why GenesisCare Guildford?
Our new SACT service has been designed to provide an exceptional experience for both patients and clinicians.
You’ll work within a 1:2 nurse-to-patient ratio, with longer appointment times giving you more opportunity to focus on what matters: education, toxicity assessment, holistic care and emotional support.
Rather than focusing on volume, our model is built around clinical excellence and personalised care. You’ll work closely with consultants, pharmacists, radiographers, Clinical Nurse Specialists and the wider multidisciplinary team to provide truly holistic cancer care.
The new unit will offer patients access to a wide range of SACT and supportive treatments, alongside:
- A purpose-built infusion suite with private treatment pods
- On-site access to consultant reviews
- Pharmacist input when required
- 24-hour patient triage support
- Access to the best technology to support your patients journey and wellbeing such as Scalp cooling technology and Hilotherm to help prevent chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy
- Dietetic and Speech & Language Therapy support
- Exercise Medicine programme available to all patients
- Wellbeing support through our partnership with Penny Brohn
- Access to clinical trials and innovative treatment approaches
