We are currently searching for an experienced, motivated and empathetic  Patient Support Manager to join our Patient Support Program.

Our Patient Support Program is the heart of what we do.  Australians diagnosed with a rare or less common cancer have typically been offered very little in the way of support after diagnosis.  The Patient Support Program provides patients with a centre of knowledge, guidance, advice and hope. The team aims to provide practical, emotional and financial support to people diagnosed with a rare or less common cancer.

This position will be responsible for:

  • providing navigation to patients and their families
  • supporting and supervising our Specialist Cancer Navigators
  • pro-actively identifying and designing new ways to meet the needs of our patients
  • initiating new resources to support people living with RLC cancers
  • networking with cancer centres and Health Care Professionals to communicate our patient support services
  • participate in the facilitation of our support groups
