Breast Care Nurse Symptomatic

Overview

We are looking to appoint a registered Nurse to support the delivery of patients on cancer pathways. The successful applicant will provide specialist knowledge in breast cancer care, ensuring patients receive accurate information about diagnosis, treatment options, and recovery. This is a key role as a trusted point of contact for patients and families during a highly stressful time. You will offer counselling and coping strategies, reducing anxiety and improving mental well-being.

• To be responsible for assessing individual care needs and developing, implementing and evaluating plans of care for all symptomatic breast patients in accordance with agreed policies and professional guidelines
• To provide nursing support to the symptomatic Breast Team
• To participate in and monitor quality assurance procedures to maintain the breast service in line with national targets and standards.
• To work flexibly to meet the needs of the service

We believe that compassionate care sits at the heart of everything we do. Every member of our team — clinical or non-clinical — plays a vital role in ensuring that patients, families, and colleagues are treated with dignity, empathy, and respect at all times.
We expect all staff to demonstrate compassion not only through their words, but through their actions: by listening attentively, communicating clearly and kindly, and recognising individual needs, feelings, and circumstances of those in our care.
Effective communication is central to safe and high‑quality healthcare. We value colleagues who take the time to understand others, explain information in a meaningful way, and respond to concerns with patience and understanding.
By joining our team, you are committing to uphold these values — ensuring that every patient feels heard, respected, and valued, and that compassion is embedded in every interaction, every day.
