The chemotherapy clinical research nurse role
The chemotherapy clinical research nurse role will be part of the research workforce within the Trust and will support the delivery of high-quality research studies. Our portfolio of oncology and haematology studies is increasing and we are therefore looking for a motivated, skilful and knowledgeable Systemic Anti Canter Therapy (SACT) trained nurse who works well as part of a team. Knowledge of clinical research is favourable but not essential.
The postholder will be an autonomous practitioner working within the multidisciplinary team to deliver in-house, national and international clinical trials. Whilst the primary base will be at the Queen Elizabeth Queen Mother hospital within the Clinical Research Facility (CRF), the post holder will be expected to work alongside the East Kent Cancer Research Centre, based at the Kent and Canterbury Hospital which will require hybrid working across all sites. This will require frequent travel between sites.
The post holder will provide specialised clinical nursing care, with a specific focus on the delivery of systemic anti-cancer therapies within a clinical trial setting.
PLEASE NOTE PREVIOUS APPLICANTS NEED NOT APPLY.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Responsibilities
Responsibilities will include:
- Education of patients and colleagues
- Coordination of care for patients on clinical trials
- Collection, processing and shipping of biological samples
- Trial data collection
- Administration of SACT and investigational medicinal products
- Collection and reporting of clinical trial data
- Collection and reporting of unexpected side effects
The post holder will have sufficient skills and experience to practice independently and within the wider team, building up a specialised knowledge relating to the conduct of clinical trials, therapies and related diseases.
Although the post holder will focus on oncology and haematology studies you would be also expected to support other trials with patients or healthy volunteers in the CRF.
The core working hours are 8-6pm but some evenings, weekend and bank holiday working may be required dependant on the need of the service.
