SM Advanced Nurse Practitioner

NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) to join the Inpatient ANP team within the Edinburgh Cancer Centre. The successful applicant will be a suitably qualified and experienced Advanced Nurse Practitioner with a keen interest in Cancer Care and treatments. You will join an already established ANP team that works across all tumour groups in Multidisciplinary teams and supports the on‑call telephone triage team within the Centre at the Western General Hospital.

The role is varied, and post holders are actively involved in the development of the service. It’s an exciting time to be involved in Cancer Services and this post offers a unique opportunity for interested nurses to further their career within Cancer Care.

This post requires the post holder to have a PVG Scheme membership/record. If the post holder is not a current PVG member for the required regulatory group (i.e. child and/or adult) then an application will need to be made to Disclosure Scotland and deemed satisfactory before they can begin in post.

Due to legislative changes from 1 April 2025, this post may require a different level of criminal records check than is currently the case. If the post is assessed as a “regulated role”, your appointment will be subject to joining the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme. If there is any change to what is currently required, this will be confirmed by either the Hiring Manager or the Recruitment Team.

We will fully support disabled candidates, and candidates with long‑term conditions or who are neurodivergent by making reasonable adjustments to our recruitment policy and practices.
