We are looking to recruit a Cancer Support Worker to join our urological cancer specialist nursing team at the Royal Berkshire Hospital.
We strive to provide excellent quality cancer and holistic care to all of our patients, and our friendly team of Cancer Support Workers play a key part in this.

An informal visit and/or phone call is strongly recommended in order to research the post and the team.
This post provides administrative duties and support to the Clinical Nurse Specialists.
A key aspect of the role involves daily and direct (e.g. face to face and telephone) communication with patients, relatives, carers, and other health and social care professionals.
You will work closely with other Cancer Support Workers to track patients on surveillance using a variety of systems such as Infoflex and EPR and will assist in the administration of nurse led clinics.
You will have excellent communication and organisational skills, and work well within a small team. As part of your role you will be supported to complete the Trust care certificate and other learning in relation to the care of cancer patients.
