YOUR ROLE IN OUR FUTURE

Patient Navigator - Fixed Term, Full-Time Role

Our Patient Navigators are administrative team members, working closely with clinicians to support patients throughout their pathway at Peter Mac.

The Patient Navigator is an integral member of each patients care team, playing an important administrative role in providing the first line response to incoming calls from patients, carers and referrers in the community needing assistance. The Patient Navigator resolves questions and concerns about how to organise appointments, change appointments or clarify appointment instructions. The Patient Navigator supports communication between patients and their clinical care team. They are an expert in supporting patient flow through the cancer care system and play a key role in facilitating timely patient access. Our patient care is delivered via a tumour stream model - this means that a patients' care is coordinated and provided by a multi-disciplinary team of people who have specialist knowledge of a specific type of cancer. Patient Navigators are primarily based in one tumour stream - making it easier to build relationships with patients and provide more personalised support.

This position is fixed term full-time, encompassing 80 hours of work a fortnight (with one paid accrued day off every 4 weeks). The fixed term position end date is 26/03/2027.
