£25k pa, depending on experience and qualifications, plus International Supplement

Enjoying unique lifestyle opportunities, St Helena Island is a self-governing overseas territory of the United Kingdom. Although better placed to develop economically and socially as a result of opening our international airport in 2017, we are not at the stage of self-sufficiency and therefore remain dependent on UK government aid. The 23-bed General Hospital in the capital, Jamestown, covers all areas of acute medical and surgical care.

As an oncology nurse, you will conduct a pre-chemotherapy assessment evaluation on the day of admission to the chemotherapy day unit and maintain safe administration of chemotherapy and supportive drugs. You will provide health education to patients and their families on the recommended treatment regimen, assisting with the chemotherapy manufacturing process in the absence of the pharmacist.

Your responsibilities include conducting a patient assessment before each cycle of chemotherapy and interpreting blood results to ensure that patients meet criteria as per treatment protocols. You must quickly identify and report adverse reactions, providing follow-up care during and upon completion of treatment. You should identify patients needing a Doctor’s consultation and promptly communicate with them and the Doctor prior to the oncology clinic date.

You will ensure that patients’ follow-up CT scans, scopes, and blood tests are completed as scheduled by the Oncologist. Additionally, you will be on call outside of normal working hours if patients encounter complications during treatment. Home visits may be required for those unable to attend the Chemo Unit, so a valid driving licence is essential.

As a Registered Nurse at degree level with SACT safe handling and administration (UKON Certified or Equivalent qualification and certification), you should have experience in SACT handling and administration and be capable of analysing and interpreting information.

In addition, you must demonstrate our core values of fairness, integrity, and teamwork, using your diverse expertise and experiences to ensure your time on the Island benefits St Helena broadly. As an officer funded through the Technical Co-Operation Programme, you will be expected to share your knowledge and skills beyond the workplace, contributing to workforce, community, and capacity development in St Helena.
