A career in oncology offers a unique opportunity to make a profound impact on the lives of others. Cancer care spans many specialties and demands both compassion and resilience, and at Providence, we’re committed to advancing cancer care with cutting-edge treatments and technology, breakthrough research and exceptional teams delivering world-class care. Read on to discover why Providence is an ideal place to work in this dynamic, challenging and rewarding field.

Grow at the forefront of cancer care innovation.

Working in oncology at Providence places you at the leading edge of medical innovation. Our clinicians are actively involved in clinical trials, bringing the next generation of therapies to our communities.

For our caregivers, this commitment means:

• Access to emerging therapies: Caregivers administer and manage novel treatments like immunotherapy, targeted therapies and genomic medicine.
• A culture of discovery: Caregivers are part of an organization that contributes to the science of cancer care, turning research into real-world hope for patients.
• Continuous growth: The field of oncology is always evolving. Our caregivers have the benefit of staying at the forefront of medical science.

One way we’re innovating at Providence is by using genomics research, testing and clinical programs to close the gap between science and personalized medicine. Our precision therapy programs use genomic testing to tailor treatment plans, identifying gene variations to improve medication effectiveness and guide targeted therapies. This dedication to innovation means our caregivers are constantly learning and applying new knowledge to improve patient outcomes.

Experience the power of cross-functional teamwork.

Cancer care is a complex field that demands a holistic, team-based approach. At Providence, collaboration is at the heart of how we care. Our model unites experts from diverse disciplines to create a seamless, comprehensive care plan for every patient.

Nurses are the backbone of our teams, developing long-term relationships with patients while providing clinical care and emotional support. Medical assistants ensure clinic operations run smoothly, and care managers help patients navigate the complexities of the healthcare system. Imaging professionals use advanced technology to detect and monitor cancer, while surgical techs are indispensable members of the operating room. Everyone’s contribution is valued, strengthening the care we deliver.

CNA Sophia says that while there can be hectic moments, she’s never felt alone in her role. She says that the atmosphere is one where everyone is ready to pitch in at a moment’s notice. “We’re all going to come and help you. You’re not going to do it by yourself.”

Adam, a new Oncology RN Resident, feels the support from his more experienced RN preceptors, physicians and techs. “I’m never afraid to ask questions,” he says. “Everybody is very willing to help, and all those questions I’ve asked will benefit me.”

Nurse Manager Mindy describes the environment simply: “We are a family.”

Empower healing and inspire hope.

Cancer care is personal, defined by the long-term relationships caregivers build with patients and their families. As Oncology and Infusion RN Manager Leslie shares, “I’m invested in caring for our community’s families, friends and neighbors. My job is an easy mission to get behind—and I feel honored to support my team in the incredible work they do every day.”

No matter your role—whether you’re a nurse, diagnostic imaging technologist, therapist or preparing their meals— you’ll walk alongside patients and their families for months or even years, becoming a trusted guide and source of comfort. This journey allows you to witness incredible resilience and courage firsthand, while experiencing the profound rewards of easing fear, celebrating milestones, and providing comfort when it’s needed most. As an oncology caregiver, you’ll also grow professionally, facing new challenges and opportunities as you help patients through their unique cancer journeys.

“I love my job because I feel intellectually challenged,” says Certified Medical Dosimetrist Sara. “Nothing I do is routine because every patient plan is different. This diversity allows me to be both technically proficient and creative in my problem-solving. The best part of my job is knowing I can have a positive impact on the lives of the patients whose treatments I am involved with.”

Oncology RN Carrie adds, “I’m always so proud of how much the team embodies the core values and treats patients with dignity, respect and compassion. Everyone’s very professional, very smart. We work well together.”
