We manage the recruitment and support of patients enrolled to clinical trials receiving various treatments and trial interventions across medical and clinical oncology.

Research nursing is an exciting and developing role, supported through the R& I division with a good education and development package in place to ensure that staff reach their potential.

This post presents an excellent opportunity to join the Head & Neck Research Team and manage a varied portfolio of oncology studies. This can include early and late phase international studies with investigational drugs, investigator led studies looking at radiotherapy dosing, biomarker studies and quality of life questionnaire studies.

The post holder will work a wide multi-disciplinary team of consultants, clinical research nurses and clinical trial administrators, key workers, research fellows and specialist nurses.

Key responsibilities of the post include the coordination of the trial protocols and support for trial patients. Central to this role is the responsibility of assessing and managing the care pathways including the delivery of all specified treatments for participants in research.

A background in oncology, flexibility in working, excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential. Experience in clinical research and/or with patients with Head & Neck cancers would be desirable.
