Join our Children’s Oncology Outreach Team! We are a small, dedicated, and dynamic service supporting children and young people (0‑15 years) and their families throughout their oncology treatment. Our team works closely with a wide range of agencies to minimise disruption to daily life and ensure care is delivered as smoothly as possible. As we cover a large geographical area, applicants must be able to drive and have access to a car.

We are recruiting for two positions: a permanent Band 6/7 development post (upgraded to Band 7 on completion of competencies) and a temporary Band 6 post available as a 6 month secondment.
