We’re Anthony Nolan and we save the lives of people with blood cancer who need a stem cell transplant.

We’re unique. Thanks to the incredible donors on our register, our pioneering research and our passionate fundraisers, we give the chance of life to three people a day.

But we won’t stop there. We want to be there for everyone who needs a transplant; from finding a match, through every step of a patient’s transplant journey. And together we can reach the remarkable day when we can save the lives of everyone with blood cancer.

And now we want you to join our lifesaving team. We are looking for a Dedicated Cord Blood Collector to join our Cord Blood team.

Title:Dedicated Cord Blood Collector

Salary:£18,898 per annum

Contract:Permanent, full-time

Hours: 35.25 hours per week

Location:        Leicester General Hospital & Leicester Royal Infirmary

Alongside our adult donor register and transplantation service, we also collect umbilical cord blood units from consenting new mothers. The placenta and umbilical cord are rich in immature stem cells, meaning they don’t have to be an exact match to a patient, because they can develop to suit their recipient. This can be a lifeline to patients who haven’t been able to find an exact match on the register, in particular those from ethnically diverse backgrounds.

Our Cord Blood Collectors are based on maternity wards in hospitals (working day and night shifts), and tasked with liaising with healthcare professionals and expectant mothers to gain consent and maximise the number of cord blood samples collected, whilst ensuring the units are clinically fit for transplant wherever possible.

Key responsibilities include:

• Assist with education of the potential mother/donor about the Anthony Nolan Cord Programme to enable informed choice regarding the voluntary donation of cord blood
• Approach as many women as possible in the maternity unit to raise awareness and thereby gain informed consent from eligible women who wish to donate
• Safely collect maternal and cord blood samples according to standard operating procedures
• Organise couriers and safe transportation of cord blood units (with completed documentation) to the cord blood bank for processing and storage
• Proactively engage with site Maternity Services to maximise their support for the Cord Blood Programme
• Ensure all policies and guidelines (of both Anthony Nolan and the hospitals) for cleanliness, infection prevention/control, data protection, standards of behaviour etc are maintained and followed

If you are open to shift work (including nights, weekends, bank holidays), are a great communicator and comfortable in a hospital environment, please consider clicking apply and reading our supporting documents in the vacancy page of our careers website to find out more.

Release your remarkable, join our team and give someone a chance of life.

The role

We are currently looking for experienced facilitators with a counselling qualification to deliver our Living with Secondary Breast Cancer (LWSBC) service in various locations across the UK.

Our LWSBC groups offer support and information to anyone living with a diagnosis of secondary (metastatic) breast cancer. The groups offer a safe space where people can come to talk freely and share experiences and mutual support with others who understand, away from friends and family. They are not therapeutic support groups in the traditional sense but are delivered in accordance with Breast Cancer Now’s service model used across the UK which has been developed and tested for over 10 years. Each group meets monthly 11:00am – 1:00pm with a slightly longer meeting each quarter (11:00am – 1:30pm) when an expert speaker presents on a relevant topic.

You will be responsible for facilitating the meetings, drawing upon your therapeutic skills as required to ensure that all attendees are given time to share and supported to take part in discussion, including around challenging topics affecting this patient group such as end of life. You will work independently in your region, with sole responsibility for facilitating each group meeting, liaising with venue staff as required. You will act as an ambassador for Breast Cancer Now, promoting our charitable aims and building professional relationships with healthcare professionals who attend.

This is offered as a contract for services position and as such the appointed contractor would not be an employee of Breast Cancer Now but a self-employed individual. We require all contractors to adhere to and follow Breast Cancer Now applicable policies and procedures and to undertake some mandatory training in core subjects such as data protection and cyber security. A satisfactory criminal record check will be required, and we advise you to have your own Public Liability insurance in place to fully cover the work you undertake on behalf of Breast Cancer Now.

About you

You will have a counselling qualification and experience of facilitating groups, preferably ongoing support groups for people affected by cancer or a life-limiting long-term condition, or other vulnerable/sensitive group. You will have a warm and approachable manner, able to communicate sensitively with people facing difficult challenges. You should be confident using your own initiative and dealing with unforeseen challenges when working alone.

About us

We’re Breast Cancer Now, the charity that’s steered by world-class research and powered by life-changing care. We’re here for anyone affected by breast cancer, the whole way through, providing support for today and hope for the future.

We’re that trusted friend that people affected by breast cancer turn to for caring support when they need it most. The expert authority on breast cancer research who is making breakthroughs and driving forward progress. And a vehicle for change, acting now to make sure anyone affected by breast cancer gets the best possible treatment and care.

We believe that we can change the future of breast cancer and make sure that, by 2050, everyone diagnosed with the disease lives – and is supported to live well. But we need to act now.
