The role will comprise delivering ENT care across the specialty pathway. This will include a large portion in the ENT emergency service in both the ENT department and the Surgical Triage Unit. The role will also comprise working in and developing routine nurse-led clinics across the specialty.

The successful candidate will need to have a thorough understanding of the Ear, Nose, Throat and Head and Neck cancer specialty. As the role develops the post holder will become more involved in role development potentially leading to minor surgical procedures.

There will also be an expectation to participate in audits and the governance process of the department.
