Skin Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialist
Kingston and Richmond NHS Foundation Trust
Closing Date: 12 November 2026
Skin Cancer Screening Nurse – The Mole Clinic Clinics across the UK, with new sites opening
North West & Yorkshire, North East, Scotland (Aberdeen), South West, South East, East Midlands and East of England
About the role
The MOLE Clinic is one of the UK’s leading specialist providers of skin cancer screening and mole removal, working with leading consultant dermatologists and plastic surgeons. Our mission is to reduce skin cancer mortality through early detection.
We are recruiting Screening Nurses across our existing clinics and for new clinics opening over the coming months. If you are a registered nurse with an interest in skin cancer detection — whether you already work in dermatology or are coming to it from another specialty — we would like to hear from you.
This is a specialist, autonomous clinical role: full-body skin cancer screening using dermoscopy, assessment and documentation of lesions, and direct collaboration with consultant dermatologists and plastic surgeons on patient pathways.
Where we are recruiting
North West & Yorkshire, North East, Scotland (Aberdeen), South West, South East, East Midlands and East of England
Tell us which area suits you when you apply and we will match you to current and upcoming openings.
The Training Programme
Whatever your background, your employment begins with The MOLE Clinic’s Skin Cancer Screening Nurse Training Programme:
- Two weeks, Monday to Friday, at one of our London clinics, fully paid from day one, with travel and accommodation arranged for nurses joining from outside London
- Academic study, clinical theory, dermoscopy technique and supervised practice, with written and practical assessments throughout
- Successful completion is a condition of the role and of passing probation
The programme is rigorous and the pace is quick. It produces screening nurses who work to a consistent standard across every clinic, which is the point of it.
The role
- Full-body mole checks, single mole checks and mole mapping using dermoscopy
- Identifying, documenting and escalating suspicious or atypical lesions in line with clinical protocols and NICE guidance
- Assessing risk factors and recommending the onward diagnostic services your findings clinically indicate, including clinical imaging and consultant-led review
- Telephone follow-up on results and arranging consultations where specialist care is needed
- Accurate clinical documentation, clinical governance and CQC standards
- Clear communication and reassurance for patients throughout their consultation
Performance is reviewed on the quality and accuracy of your clinical assessment and documentation, patient feedback, and your diagnostic and care delivery statistics.
What we’re looking for
Essential: active and unrestricted NMC registration; at least two years’ post-registration nursing experience in any specialty; strong clinical assessment skills and attention to detail; a composed manner with anxious or vulnerable patients; commitment to completing the two-week London programme.
Desirable: a background in dermatology, oncology or general practice; experience in a screening, assessment or diagnostic role; experience of autonomous clinical assessment and decision-making; experience in a private healthcare setting.
Hours and benefits
Full-time and part-time contracts considered. Full-time is 40 hours per week including two Saturdays per month, worked across a rolling two-week pattern, with clinics closed on bank holidays. We will talk you through the pattern at interview.
Competitive salary with a monthly performance bonus against clinical and diagnostic targets, Private Medical Insurance from day one, company pension, paid sick leave, 28 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays and your birthday off, NMC retention fee paid, treatment discounts for friends and family, referral scheme, eyecare vouchers and annual flu vaccination.
How to apply
Apply online at https://themoleclinic.co.uk/recruitment/ with your CV, telling us which area or areas you would want to work in, and a few sentences on a time you had to learn a significant amount of clinical or technical material in a short period — what it was, and how you approached it.
This role involves regulated activity, so any appointment is subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS check and references.
We keep applicant details for 6 months and you can ask us to delete them at any time.
The MOLE Clinic is an equal opportunities employer and considers all applications on merit, regardless of any protected characteristic. If you need an adjustment to the recruitment process or the assessments, tell us in your application and we will discuss what we can put in place.
