We have a vacancy for our Nottingham Service Coordinator to cover Nottingham City and boroughs of Rushcliffe, Broxtowe and Gedling.

Confident in working with health professionals, patients, carers and volunteers, you will bring your passion for helping people to realise their potential to assist their recovery from cancer and working with those affected by cancer to match them with volunteers who will nurture their progress and independence following diagnosis, treatment and recovery.
