This position is an opportunity to directly improve the care of cancer patients. By monitoring and reviewing patient care pathways and/or treatment progress, the successful applicant will have the opportunity to work closely with administrative and clinical colleagues to identify and suggest improvements to ensure cancer patients receive treatment as soon as possible.

The successful candidate must be proactive – able to identify ways to improve the progress of patient’s treatment pathways and then must take the appropriate action to achieve this, by working closely with clinical teams and managers.

Strong communication skills and the ability to work with others within different roles within the Trust are key to this position, as is strong administrative experience and the drive to improve patient care.

By working with clinical teams, managers and peers, supervising others, and the ability to show a direct impact to patients’ treatment times, this role offers excellent job satisfaction and career development opportunities.

Guy’s and St Thomas’ is among the UK’s busiest and most successful NHS foundation trusts. We provide a full range of hospital and community services for people in south London and as well as specialist care for patients from further afield including cancer, renal, orthopaedic, respiratory and cardiovascular services.

Evelina London cares for local children in Lambeth and Southwark and provides specialist services across south east England including cardiac, renal and critical care services. We lead a number of specialist service networks aiming to ensure children are treated locally where possible, but have access to specialist expertise when they need it. Our community services include health visiting, school nursing and support for families of children with long-term conditions.

In February 2021 the Royal Brompton and Harefield joined Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, bringing together world-leading expertise in the care and research of heart and lung disease. Our merger provides a once in a generation opportunity to build a lasting, world-renowned heart and lung centre, providing the highest quality care for patients and conducting world-leading research.
