Are you a passionate Nurse, Midwife or Allied Health Professional ready to step into a dynamic research leadership role?
We are looking for an experienced and motivated Nurse/Midwife/AHP to join our innovative team delivering high-quality research across a wide range of health and care settings. This is your opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future of patient care through research.
About You
You will be a confident and adaptable professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment, with:
Registration as a Nurse or Midwife (NMC) or Allied Health Professional (HCPC)
A degree in a health-related discipline (or equivalent experience)
Experience in clinical research and/or delivering patient care within research studies
Strong knowledge of research governance, GCP, and clinical trial processes
Proven leadership, organisational and communication skills
Ability to work independently across multiple sites and priorities
A commitment to continuous professional development and improving patient outcomes through research
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, personalising 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, recognising 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.
