Job overview
Following a positive recommendation from the UK National Screening Committee and the successful delivery of a pilot in the North Rhondda area, the Welsh Government has approved the implementation of Lung Screening Wales as a new national screening programme. This represents a significant development for healthcare in Wales and offers an exciting opportunity for compassionate, motivated and innovative individuals to play a key role in delivering this important service.
We are seeking to recruit two Senior Screening Nurses to support the development and implementation of Lung Screening Wales. In the initial phase, post holders will contribute to service planning and pathway development while providing nursing support across the Screening Division. Working across screening programmes will broaden their understanding of population health and the contribution of screening to improving outcomes, reducing health inequalities, and delivering the Duty of Quality.

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.

The outcomes of the participants identified as being at high risk will be clinically reviewed and, where eligible, referred for a screening low-dose CT scan by the Risk Assessment Team.
The risk assessment process also incorporates smoking cessation support, informed consent and clinical support for Nurses undertaking face-to-face risk assessments within Health Boards across Wales.
We are looking for experienced registered nurses with excellent communication, leadership and organisational skills and a proven commitment to delivering high standards of care. Successful candidates will be enthusiastic about service development, able to work effectively in a changing environment, and passionate about improving health outcomes for the people of Wales.
