An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Oncology Residential Medical Officer to join a supportive clinical team providing high-quality medical care to patients receiving specialist cancer treatment. This residential post offers the opportunity to work in a dedicated oncology setting, supporting patients throughout their treatment and recovery while contributing to a safe, compassionate and professional service.

You will undertake regular clinical assessments, respond to acute and urgent medical presentations, and provide ongoing care for patients with a range of oncological conditions. Working closely with consultants, nursing staff and the wider multidisciplinary team, you will develop and review management plans, request and interpret appropriate investigations, prescribe safely within your competence, and ensure that patients and their families receive clear, sensitive information.

The role will include responding to out-of-hours concerns, recognising and managing clinical deterioration, arranging escalation or transfer where required, and maintaining accurate, timely clinical documentation. You will also contribute to handovers, ward rounds, discharge planning, clinical governance and the continuous improvement of patient services. A calm, organised approach and the ability to make sound decisions in a residential environment are essential.

Applicants should hold full registration with the General Medical Council and have appropriate postgraduate medical experience, ideally including oncology, acute medicine, palliative care or a related specialty. You must have current knowledge of safe prescribing, infection prevention, safeguarding and resuscitation practice, together with the ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team.

Excellent communication skills, empathy and professionalism are central to this position. You will be expected to respect confidentiality, promote equality and dignity, and provide person-centred care to patients from diverse backgrounds. Previous experience of working independently, participating in an on-call or residential rota, and supporting junior colleagues would be advantageous.

This is an opportunity to develop your expertise in oncology within a welcoming and clinically focused environment. A competitive package, professional development opportunities and appropriate support for ongoing learning are available. Applicants should be prepared to participate in a residential rota, including evenings, nights, weekends and public holidays.
