Hours: Full time, 37.5 hours per week (Monday–Friday)
Salary: Competitive + Excellent Benefits

Are you an experienced Chemotherapy or SACT Nurse looking to step up into a senior role within oncology? Join our Senior Staff Nurse team in a leading private cancer service delivering outstanding, patient‑centred care. Rated Outstanding by the CQC and recognised with the Macmillan Quality Environment Mark, our modern Chemo Day Unit offers a calm, supportive environment where advanced cancer treatments and compassionate nursing come together.

This senior role is ideal for nurses confident in administering systemic anti‑cancer therapies who want to expand their clinical leadership, autonomy, and influence on patient care. You’ll assess, plan, deliver and evaluate complex SACT treatments, act as a key patient advocate, support families, and contribute to safe, seamless coordination of care. Working alongside a highly skilled multidisciplinary team, you’ll be part of a nurse‑led service that values expertise, critical thinking, and collaborative practice.

Our purpose‑built unit gives you access to the latest oncology innovations, including advanced systemic therapies not yet available on the NHS, supported by an on‑site pharmacy and chemotherapy production unit. You’ll be encouraged to grow through fully funded professional development, Master’s‑level study, structured career pathways, and regular teaching from external clinical educators — whether your ambitions lie in specialist practice, Sister or Matron roles.

Most importantly, you’ll join a team that genuinely cares: about delivering exceptional cancer care, and about supporting each other every day.

At HCA UK, we care about what you care about. We care that you want to deliver exceptional care. We care that you're looking for a career to be proud of. And we care about your wellbeing at work — offering a range of benefits and a supportive environment that lets you thrive.

What you’ll bring:

• NMC Nurse Registration

• Proven experience in chemotherapy administration

• Strong and up-to-date knowledge of systemic anti-cancer therapies (e.g. chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy), including common and rare side effects
