Non-surgical oncological treatments are delivered at the Cancer Centre, which is an integral part of the Trust.

The Centre has recently undergone significant refurbishment, offering a modern, welcoming environment for both patients and staff. It works collaboratively with  the Surrey Clinical Research Facility, and will support medical students from the UoS Medical School.

The Cancer Centre is committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care in a professional and compassionate setting. Its services have received national recognition, and patients benefit from access to advanced and innovative treatments.

The Centre also provides a comprehensive diagnostic nuclear medicine service for adult and paediatric patients, alongside a full Molecular Radiotherapy service, including I-131 treatment for both benign and malignant thyroid conditions.

Our collaboration with Genesis Care, offers additional opportunities for Clinical Oncologists, including access to MR Linac technology for both NHS and private patients.

Main duties of the job

The successful candidate will provide expertise in the management and treatment of patients with Colorectal and Gynaecology tumours. This includes offering Chemotherapy, systemic therapy, and Radiotherapy . This role offers the opportunity to join a dynamic team providing exceptional cancer care in a modern, state-of-the-art facility.

We value the expertise of our skilled staff, and will support your professional development through dedicated SPA time, pursuing CPD opportunities and encouraging participation in clinical research. We aim to provide a supportive and collegiate working environment, where teams and individuals alike can reach their full potential.

Recognising that our 5000 colleagues are our greatest strength, we offer a comprehensive health and wellbeing program along with a commitment to developing and advancing your career.

We are proud of our achievements and we are investing in our colleagues through our commitment to supporting professional development as well as investing more than £45 million in our physical environment and new equipment in the next few years.
