Job Description

We are looking for an experienced and compassionate nurse to join us as a Macmillan Lung Cancer Nurse Specialist at Airedale General Hospital.



This is a varied and rewarding role, supporting patients at different points in the lung cancer pathway--some on curative treatment plans, others requiring palliative care. The work is fast-paced and often complex, requiring a calm, confident approach and a strong ability to adapt to changing clinical needs.



Skilled communication is central to the role. You'll be supporting patients and families during what can be a very difficult time, helping them to navigate their options with clarity and compassion. You will also work closely with the multidisciplinary team (MDT) to ensure coordinated, person-centred care.
