You will be expected to have, or work towards CVAD certification and chemotherapy administration competence within the first six months of employment - full support will be given to achieve this. There is also opportunities and support for ongoing professional development and education.

Professional and operational leadership and support will be provided by the Assistant Director of Nursing and the Operational Lead. This is a great opportunity for an experienced Nurse wishing to progress into a nursing leadership position.

Nurses with advanced patient assessment skills, proven leadership ability, quality improvement experience, excellent communication skills and computer knowledge, and who enjoy working in a supportive, team environment are invited to apply.
