The role of the chemotherapy staff nurse contributes to the overarching aim to provide the highest quality, holistic, patient centred care for all those in North Derbyshire affected by cancer, throughout all stages of their cancer journey. 

Working at the state-of-the-art facility, the NGS Macmillan Unit, was built to the standard of the Macmillan Quality Environment Mark and beyond.

This is an exciting opportunity  for a chemotherapy trained nurse to join our team to ensure people affected by cancer have access to high quality, safe, effective treatment delivered in a timely, efficient manner.

The post is open for full time contracted hours, however newly qualified or staff looking for part time hours are also welcome to apply.

Previous unsuccessful applicants need not apply.
