The role involves supporting the operational day-to-day functions of the Breast department through non-clinical duties, facilitating high-quality service delivery. There will also be opportunities to work directly with patients and assist consultants during breast biopsies.
The successful candidate will join our breast nursing team, working alongside experienced breast care nurses and an advanced nurse practitioner.

* Assisting in the smooth running of symptomatic clinics, breast screening, and result clinics.
