Description
We are looking for 3 highly motivated individuals to join our team as a Cancer Pathway Navigators.


The primary purpose of the role is a central point of contact for patients on a 'rapid diagnostic, suspicious of cancer pathway'; helping to ensure the individual needs of the patient are supported, that care is built around those needs; as well as facilitating seamless, coordinated pathway delivery including through escalation to relevant departments; and a better, more personalised diagnostic experience for patients.


They will work closely with the wider cancer team (both clinical and administrative), as well as other key health and social care providers, to enable person centred care and efficient implementation of the pathway (including achievement of the 28 Day Faster Diagnosis Standard).


They will be involved from the beginning of the pathway and up to the point of definitive diagnosis (whether cancer or not).

They will maintain effective communication both with and on behalf of the patient - signposting to other resources and information as defined by patient needs; and liaising with staff and services to ensure tests and appointments are scheduled in a timely manner.

It is envisaged that the Pathway Navigator will have a specific focus on the more direct support of harder to reach patient groups e.g.

Learning Disabilities, 'non-engagers' etc.

The post holder will identify and resolve barriers to care, working flexibly and responsively to unlock bottlenecks and delays.
