The ideal candidate will be dedicated and recognise the goal’s significance; as well as the importance of the Trust PRIDE values. Research is highly regulated; you should have an understanding of trial protocols and policies, and an awareness of research governance.

Applicants who are not employed by an NHS organisation, will receive a fixed term contract. Please speak to the Recruitment Team if you have any questions.

You will have excellent communication skills with a positive and flexible approach to the workload. You should be a qualified Registered Nurse/Midwife and have research experience in a hospital setting.

Clinical Research is a highly regulated field, the role involves using an in-depth knowledge of trial protocols and their application in practice, alongside a working knowledge and compliance with the regulations. You should therefore have a good understanding of research procedures, documentation and policies, as well as an awareness of local, national and international research governance issues.
