An exciting opportunity has arisen for two suitably qualified and experienced nurses to join the Advanced Nurse Practitioner team in the Edinburgh Cancer Centre providing assessment, treatments and supportive therapies to oncology and haematology patients receiving Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT).
The successful applicants will be suitably qualified and experienced Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANP) although consideration will be given to those with suitable oncology/haematology SACT experience who are willing to undertake ANP training. Annex 21 will apply for these candidates with completion of the ANP training in an agreed timeframe.
SACT delivery is expanding year on year due to increasing numbers and increasing lines of treatment. These posts join established ANP teams on both sites and will support the ongoing expansion of our services.
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.
Please note that 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.
