Clinical Nurse Specialist – Breast Cancer Care

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and compassionate Clinical Nurse Specialist to join our dedicated Breast Cancer Care team at The Harley Street Clinic — part of HCA Healthcare UK. Rated Outstanding by the CQC, our clinic is home to some of the most advanced private cancer facilities in Europe, combining cutting-edge technology with a multidisciplinary team of expert clinicians.

About the Team

The Breast CNS team is one of support, collaboration, and shared purpose — the care and improvement of human life. We are a team of like-minded clinicians who work together to support patients and their families in the management of breast cancer. We use an evidence-based, person-centred approach at all times and recognise that we are stronger as a team than we are as individuals.

We work across The Harley Street Clinic Campus, including satellite sites. Within HCA, we benefit from rapid access to diagnostics and treatments, and we operate in an environment that truly values excellence in care. HCA acknowledges that the CNS is integral to delivering this care and fosters a culture of support and development for CNS professionals.

At HCA UK we care about what you care about. We care that you want to deliver the very best care. We care that you want a career you can be proud of. We care that you want working conditions that support your health and wellbeing. Let us care for you and your career, the same way you do for others.
