We’re looking for a Senior Staff Nurse to join our Cancer Nursing Team at the newly open Harborne Hospital in Birmingham. The Harborne Hospital opened in January 2024 and is a brand new £100million, purpose built 50 bed, multi-speciality private facility. Located on the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham campus, the hospital has a deep clinical infrastructure, equipment and facilities and expert, experienced teams to deliver full clinical pathways across a mix of specialties and sub-specialties at all levels of complexity including Cardiology, Cancer and Complex Surgery. The Harborne Hospital is the 4th NHS partnership within this network, partnering with University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Trust.

Working alongside an experienced nursing team you’ll help assess, plan, deliver and evaluate high standards of specialist care while also being an advocate for the patient, ensuring all their medical, physical and emotionally needs are met by communicating effectively with them and their families.

It’s a great opportunity to make a significant difference to the unit and its patients. In return, you’ll have the chance to build a career at the forefront of Cancer care.

You’ll also have much more autonomy day to day. Our clinical teams are very nurse led so you’ll have more control over assessment and treatment decisions while having the support you need to develop your career into Sister or Matron roles, whether that’s through regular development sessions from external speakers or one of our many funded courses
