About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity to join our established and experienced clinical research team. We are looking for a patient-focused, motivated, passionate nurse with an interest in clinical research and good project management skills.
The successful candidate will gain experience and develop research delivery skills.
Responsibilities
The post holder will be expected to work flexibly across different clinical areas and specialties at both our hospital sites.
At CHFT, we are keen to embed research in everyday care, enhancing patient experience and outcomes through research and innovation, across many specialties across a range of portfolios both commercial and non-commercial.
The successful candidate will support senior research nurses and other clinicians to deliver clinical research and, once trained and competent, lead studies independently with Principal Investigator oversight. The role will involve working flexibly within the team yet have the ability and confidence to work independently when needed.
