Macmillan Liver Cancer Nurse

Remote Home-based

The British Liver Trust is the leading UK charity for adults at risk of or affected by liver disease or liver cancer. Liver disease is a silent killer and is on the increase, with late or missed diagnosis leading to avoidable deaths. There is a lack of awareness and understanding of the range and causes of liver conditions, which needs to change.  The charity is growing, but needs to be much, much bigger to tackle this crisis.

The Trust is offering an exciting opportunity for someone to join our dynamic and friendly nurse team. We provide a range of information and support via phone and email, to anyone affected by liver disease and/or liver cancer.

The successful candidate will have experience in liver cancer and hepatology/gastroenterology with a good knowledge of liver disease and its treatments, must be a registered Nurse with the NMC and have an up-to-date nursing PIN.
