Description
Job Overview
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.
Please see below for the detailed job description of the role.
Main duties of the job
Are you passionate about improving patient care through research? Do you want a dynamic role where no two days are the same? Join our Agile Research Delivery Team (ARDT) and play a vital role in bringing cutting-edge health and care research to communities across the region.
This is an exciting opportunity to work at the heart of the NIHR Research Delivery Network, supporting high-quality research studies that make a real difference to patients, services, and populations.
About The Role
As a Clinical Research Practitioner, you’ll be part of a flexible, forward-thinking team delivering and supporting research across a wide range of health and care settings.
Depending On Service Need, Your Role May Include
Participant-facing research delivery – recruiting, consenting, and supporting participants through research studies, carrying out clinical assessments, and ensuring safe, high-quality care.
Research support and set-up – working with partners to open new study sites, engage communities, and ensure studies are delivered efficiently and in line with governance standards.
You won’t be expected to do everything at once — but you will have the opportunity to develop a broad, transferable skill set across both areas, making you a key part of a truly agile workforce.
This post can be based in either Shirley Research Hub or South Central Regional Research Delivery Network (SCRRDN).
Working for our organisation
University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.
Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast.
We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
At UHS we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.
At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
