Main duties of the job

As part of the national drive to bring healthcare closer to home and reduce reliance on hospital-based services, The Royal Marsden has developed a comprehensive Homecare Chemotherapy Service. This initiative enables patients to receive treatment in their own homes—reducing hospital visits, minimising travel, and significantly enhancing their overall experience of care.

This role involves the administration of subcutaneous systemic anti-cancer therapies and supportive treatments to patients with haematological, breast, and gastrointestinal cancers. You will visit patients in their homes to deliver these therapies, ensuring they receive safe, effective, and compassionate care in a familiar environment.
