An opportunity has arisen within the Cancer Audit & Performance Team for a Cancer Audit & Performance Manager. We require an individual to take up the role within the Team. Key components of the job will be to take a lead role and use very specialised knowledge and experience in order to ensure cancer services have complete and accurate data on all newly diagnosed cases of cancer in Fife, and to analyse, report, and utilise the results of audit in line with national standards.
Cancer services within NHS Scotland are obliged to ensure availability, within tight deadlines, of accurate and complete data for analysis and measurement of national clinical effectiveness targets and standards, for example quality performance indicators, weekly monitoring and cancer waiting times for monitoring and improving patient care. You will line manage the Cancer Audit & Performance Team and the department has functional responsibility to support delivery of the NHS Fife’s Cancer Framework, cancer clinical audit, MDT Coordination, management of cancer pathways and the Single Point of Contact Hub. You will work closely with the Acute Operating Division and with the regional networks in to progress the cancer agenda.
This will require you to form effective relationships with all grades of staff and external bodies to ensure that information is delivered within agreed timescales and against agreed objectives.
For informal enquiries please contact Alison Robertson, Cancer Services Improvement Manager on 01383 623623 ext 22632 or e-mail alison.robertson11@nhs.scot.
NHS Fife is legally obliged to ensure all its employees are legally entitled to work in the United Kingdom. If you are not a United Kingdom (UK) or Irish National, you are required to confirm your right to work in your application.
To work in the United Kingdom, there is a legal requirement for an individual to demonstrate that they have the relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is, without exception, granted by the UK Visa and Immigrations Service.
As part of the pre-employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards will check your entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through a number of routes including specific types of visa as well as EU settled and pre-settled status. To find out more about these routes of permission, please refer to the GOV.UK website here.
For specific types of post, if you do not have the necessary eligibility to work in the UK, it might be possible (though not guaranteed) to secure sponsorship via a UK Skilled Worker/Health & Care Worker Visa. However, this is only possible if the employer is a licenced Sponsor, and if the post does not fall below the current minimum salary threshold or ‘going rate’. Further information on these criteria can be found here.
It is ESSENTIAL that you have checked that you either already have an appropriate right to work in the UK or that the post would be eligible to be sponsored BEFORE submitting your application form.
Due to legislative changes from 1 April 2025, this post may require a different level of criminal records check done than is currently the case.

If there is any change to what is currently required, this will be confirmed by either the Hiring Manager or the Recruitment Team.
