MHB contains a 28 bed cancer ward for provision of integrated oncology, haematology and palliative care and a large ambulatory care facility.

What you'll be doing

In addition to participating in the consultative palliative care service and supporting our out-patient and in-patient services, our new team member will use their experience to teach, mentor and support palliative care junior medical and nursing staff across all sites, and contribute to departmental teaching activities and programs.

This role also offers other opportunities; to contribute to and support existing clinical trials and initiate, design, conduct and report clinical trials within the Department of Palliative and Supportive Care, collaborating with Mater Research and UQ.

About you

You will be extensively trained in a relevant specialty with a passion for palliative care and oncology, and experience in mentoring and sharing experience with other staff.
