Haemato-oncology Clinical Research Team Leader
An exciting opportunity has arisen to lead, support and develop the Haemato-oncology Clinical Research Team at East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust (ESHT). The team delivers a portfolio of academic and commercial clinical research studies and supports wider clinical trial activity across the organisation. While the primary focus of this role is the delivery of haemato-oncology clinical trials, the post holder will also be required to support the delivery of generic clinical research studies.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated Registered Nurse, ideally with experience in both commercial and academic clinical trial delivery, who has recent experience of leading and developing teams. The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong track record of building a diverse clinical trial portfolio and supporting teams to recruit participants to time and target. Alternatively, applicants with a strong background in haemato-oncology nursing, including chemotherapy administration and toxicity management, and proven leadership skills are encouraged to apply, as the research specific elements of the role can be developed with appropriate support.
The post holder will be dynamic, forward-thinking and possess excellent communication skills, with the ability to effectively engage and build relationships with internal and external stakeholders to increase clinical research activity within ESHT. As a Senior Clinical Research Nurse, you will contribute to the provision and ongoing development of a high-quality, specialist research nursing service, supporting participants and their families throughout clinical trial participation and ensuring the safe and effective delivery of all clinical trial-related care.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
