## Job Content

### Job overview

The Oncology Unit is looking for a caring, compassionate and motivated person to join our close-knit team. We provide treatment and support to people with cancer across North Lancashire and South Cumbria. Working in oncology can be extremely rewarding, in the knowledge that you are helping others to navigate their cancer journey.  The feedback we receive from patients is overwhelmingly positive, and we welcome all applicants who feel they have the right attributes to enhance the team.

The Oncology & Haematology department has an excellent reputation for providing compassionate, patient centred care.  We are fortunate to have a diverse group of nurses, doctors and support staff who all work together to promote the trust and NHS core values, and above all else, the best interests of our patients.

Important Note: The role is based at two hospital sites - Lancaster 5 days per week and Kendal 2 days per week. Applicants MUST be prepared and available to work at either site as required.

### Main duties of the job

The main duties of the role are assisting in the smooth running of oncology out-patient clinics and supporting patient and staff in the chemotherapy treatment rooms.

New staff must be willing to learn new skills and ways of working to enhance their own development and benefit the department.

Working in cancer care requires the ability to communicate and empathise with people living with life threatening, and life limiting disease. This is an area where the department excels, and we would look to promote and develop this in any new members of the team.
