Fixed term contract/ secondment opportunity for 12 months
Research at NNUH is conducted primarily at the NIHR Norfolk Clinical Research Facility (CRF), located at the main hospital as well as the Quadram Institute on the Norwich Research Park. The Norfolk CRF is one of 28 NIHR-partly funded clinical research facilities networked across the UK.
Team NNUH’s Research and Development department have an opportunity for a Clinical Research Nurse within the Complex Clinical Trials (CCT) team. The CCT team works across multiple specialties to support the delivery of early phase (phase 1 and 2) and commercial research across the Trust.
We have a shared goal within our team; to undertake clinical research to improve treatment and care of patients here at NNUH and beyond. Research is highly regulated locally, nationally, and internationally; therefore, you should have some understanding of the research process such as trial protocols and policies, as well as an awareness of research governance issues.
As post-holder, you will play a key role in our many ground-breaking research studies. Our strong links with the Norwich Research Park and the University of East Anglia, as well as colleagues around the region, means you will have the opportunity to network and share knowledge and findings.
You will be responsible for assessing and managing the care pathways for patients and/or carers participating in clinical trials. You will be people-focused in your approach; recruiting, educating, and monitoring those in the trial, and will collect and document your findings accurately.
You will have excellent communication skills with a positive and flexible approach to the workload. You should be a qualified Registered Nurse, have some band 5 experience, experience of working in a hospital setting, or working towards a health/research qualification (or have demonstrable equivalent experience).
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.
