This is a unique opportunity to join an established Haematology Clinical Nurse Specialist team in Hywel Dda. We are expanding to embrace new ways of working within a multidisciplinary haematology team comprising Consultants, Pharmacists, and Specialist doctors.
This period of change within the Haematology service is driven by staff passionate about providing a safe, robust, and high-quality service within a large coastal and rural landscape.
If you aim to maintain a strong patient focus while influencing the future of the Haematology service in Hywel Dda, this may be the job for you. We look forward to you joining us!
The successful applicant will subspecialise in one of three haematology cancers: Myeloma, Leukaemia, or Lymphoma, influencing our changing service to positively impact patient care. Although based at one site, you will work across traditional boundaries to provide a health board-wide service, sometimes involving virtual working.
You will act as a Key Worker for a cohort of patients, participate in nurse-led clinics, and have opportunities to develop advanced skills such as bone marrow aspirations and peripheral central catheter placement, depending on patient needs within your subspecialism.
Fluency in Welsh is desirable; English and/or Welsh speakers are equally encouraged to apply.
Interviews will be held on 31/07/2025.
