PCN Cancer Care Coordinator

Clifton & The Meadows PCN 8, Nottingham (Hybrid)
30–37 hours per week | Permanent

Salary: £26,620 pro rata (pay award pending)
Employer: Self Help UK (in partnership with Clifton & The Meadows Primary Care Network)

About the Role

We are excited to recruit a PCN Cancer Care Coordinator to support people living with cancer across the Clifton and The Meadows Primary Care Network in Nottingham.

This role is central to delivering a holistic, person‑centred cancer care coordination service, supporting patients beyond clinical treatment and ensuring their wider emotional, practical and social needs are met. Working closely with GP practices, Primary Care Network colleagues, and the voluntary and community sector, you will help improve experiences and outcomes for people affected by cancer.

You will work in direct partnership with Self Help UK’s Macmillan Beyond Diagnosis Service, carrying out Cancer Care Reviews and Holistic Needs Assessments (eHNA), developing care and support plans, and helping people to access the right support at the right time.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting people newly diagnosed with cancer through Cancer Care Reviews and eHNAs
• Creating individualised care and support plans based on each person’s needs
• Acting as a single point of access for non‑clinical cancer support
• Referring and signposting patients to appropriate voluntary and community services
• Working closely with GP practices to ensure reviews are recorded on NHS systems
• Supporting work to increase cancer screening uptake, especially within targeted communities
• Building strong relationships across health, social care and the voluntary sector
• Ensuring safeguarding, confidentiality and data protection standards are upheld

You’ll work flexibly across GP practices, community settings, patients’ homes and the Self Help UK office in Nottingham, with some home working available.

About You

You will be someone who is compassionate, organised and confident working with people facing complex and emotive situations. You will bring:

• Experience in a people‑facing role within health, community or voluntary settings
• Experience supporting people with long‑term health conditions or vulnerabilities
• Strong communication, organisation and relationship‑building skills
• Confidence working both independently and as part of a multi‑disciplinary team
• Emotional resilience and a genuinely person‑centred approach

Experience of working with people affected by cancer, delivering holistic needs assessments, social prescribing or working across NHS–voluntary sector partnerships would be an advantage, but is not essential.

A full UK driving licence and access to a car is required for this role.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of an innovative partnership between Primary Care and the voluntary sector
• Make a real difference to people’s lives at a critical time
• Access training, supervision and ongoing professional development
• Join an organisation committed to equality, inclusion and compassionate care

Closing Date: 17th May 2026

Interviews likely to take place w/c 22nd May
