Trosolwg o'r swydd

The Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield Bowel Cancer Screening Programme currently invites men and women aged 50-74 to complete an at home test kit (Faecal Immunochemical Test – FIT) which if positive offers them the opportunity to attend for a screening colonoscopy investigation to determine whether or not they have a Bowel Cancer or a potential  bowel cancer. The programme also includes Lynch Surveillance patients.

The Screening centre covers a large geographical area which includes two NHS Trusts which are Calderdale and Huddersfield Foundation Trust and the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals Trust.

This would be a suitable post for an experienced, forward thinking nurse with an interest in Bowel Cancer and Screening Programmes who can demonstrate a high level of clinical achievement with a desire to expand their expertise and knowledge within the specialised field of bowel cancer screening. They will need to demonstrate a “can do attitude” and be able to work autonomously. They require good organisational skills and able to demonstrate a varied clinical background. They need to be able to work well under pressure and be a team player in what is a very busy and changing service.

Gweithio i'n sefydliad

We employ more than 6,500 staff who deliver compassionate care from our two main hospitals, Calderdale Royal Hospital and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary as well as in community sites, health centres and in patients’ homes. We also are incredibly proud to have almost 150 volunteers here at CHFT.

We provide a range of services including urgent and emergency care; medical; surgical; maternity; gynaecology; critical care; children’s and young people’s services; end of life care and outpatient and diagnostic imaging services.

We provide community health services, including sexual health services in Calderdale from Calderdale Royal and local health centres. These include Todmorden Health Centre and Broad Street Plaza. 

We continue to modernise and invest in our health services to build on our strong reputation. Foundation trusts are public leaders in improving quality in health services. They are part of the NHS – yet decisions about what they do and how they do it are driven by independent boards. Boards listen to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members – patients, staff and the local community.

Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in the changes to the local community needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.
