NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is one of the largest healthcare systems in the United Kingdom, employing approximately 40,000 staff across a wide range of clinical and non‑clinical professions and roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health services to a population of over 1.15 million people, and to a wider population of 2.2 million when regional and national services are included.
The Role
The opportunity has arisen for a band 5 Staff Nurse within the Paediatric Haematology/Oncology Day Unit Ward 2B Schiehallion Day Care, Royal Hospital for Children. The paediatric haematology/oncology unit provides a regional service for the treatment of childhood leukaemias as well as a range of other malignant and non‑malignant haemato‑oncological disorders. We are the paediatric haematology and oncology reference centre for the West of Scotland, provide a national service for Paediatric Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant, and host the Scottish Paediatric Molecular Radiotherapy service.
The day‑care ward delivers patient‑specific care to children requiring assessment, investigations and treatment for various haematology and oncology conditions, including bone‑marrow transplant and follow‑up care for recipients. Admission via the day‑care unit can be both elective and emergency and we work closely with the paediatric haemato‑oncology inpatient ward to facilitate excellent patient care. Treatment is provided to children ranging from birth to 18 years of age and we liaise closely with other haematology/oncology centres participating in shared care.
As part of a multidisciplinary team, the post holder will be responsible for the delivery of excellent patient care within the clinical area in line with local policy. This will require the assessment, implementation and evaluation of care programmes within the paediatric haematology/oncology remit. They will play an active role in health promotion within this patient group and will provide holistic care to both patients and their families throughout treatment.

This is a fixed‑term post of 12 months, pro‑rata for part‑time hours. Based in Ward 2B, Schiehallion day care, RHC. The shift pattern is Monday to Friday, 08:30‑19:30.

Participate in clinical communication/education of children, parents and colleagues and in multi‑professional decision‑making concerning children and their families.
Ensure nursing documentation is accurate and legible, reflecting care delivery. Interpret and report changes in care needs, develop presentation and IT technology skills, and participate fully in ward and multidisciplinary meetings.
Quality Assured Patient Care
Deliver a systematic approach to patient care, demonstrating knowledge, understanding and clinical competence. Encourage others to maintain high standards of patient care. Self‑assess own and others’ performance, recognising abilities and limitations. Participate in audit and research projects to ensure practice is evidence based.

Demonstrate awareness of legal and professional responsibilities and effective use of resources, including staff, supplies and departmental budget. Support and collaborate with all staff members. Participate in the delivery of high‑dependency nursing care to haemato‑oncology patients, including those preparing for or having received Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant, and in specialised haemato‑oncology duty such as chemotherapy delivery, once competent.
Provide telephone support and advice to patients, parents, schools and GPs; assist with teaching and education of children and families to administer drugs safely at home. Report untoward incidents to senior colleagues.
