What the job involves

We re looking for an exceptional nurse to join the Specialist Nurses team at Prostate Cancer UK, part of our wider Support Services team that helps men and their loved ones to navigate the challenges of prostate cancer.

First and foremost, you ll be providing invaluable information and support directly to men and their families via a range of channels, including telephone, email, webchat, and WhatsApp.

You ll also work with other teams across the charity, ensuring that Prostate Cancer UK maintains a strong, credible clinical voice in all its activity. This will range from supporting men through webinars and classes, to delivering education sessions to health professionals, to reviewing health information resources, to supporting communications campaigns.

Please note that there is no face-to-face patient contact as part of this role, and the team s remit is contained to information and support not clinical advice.

You ll be working Monday Friday, with a hybrid working model. The service runs predominantly remotely, but periodical office attendance for collaborative work is expected.

You ll bring excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to organise and prioritise your work effectively and flexibly. You ll also be flexible and adaptable to meet the complex demands of this role. You ll show willingness and proactivity to step away from frontline service delivery to support a range of wider charity activity. You ll also be comfortable with remote working, both in terms of delivering information and support over the phone and working in a remote team.

As a Specialist Nurse, you ll be committed, enthusiastic and compassionate keen to apply your existing clinical experience and knowledge to provide information and support to those affected by prostate cancer and have the desire to develop new skills.
