Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust
This post is only open for applications for individuals employed within the Hampshire and Isle of Wight NHS Care System.
Main duties of the job
Position Type: Permanent - Full time - 37.5 hours.
The Research Office supports and oversees a diverse portfolio of impactful research across almost all clinical specialities at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust. Without the Research Office, studies would not open in an efficient and compliant way, meaning less opportunity for patients to access new treatments or for patients and staff to contribute to building knowledge and enhancing evidence-based care for the conditions that matter to them. The office team supports the design, conduct, analysis, and ongoing safety/quality management of investigator-led clinical trials and studies, working in collaboration with other NHS Trusts as well as commercial and academic partners. Consistently in the top few Large Acute Trusts in terms of research participation, PHU has both scale and quality in research with a desire to develop more to achieve the greatest possible impact.
Job responsibilities
Ensuring the Research Office works as effectively and efficiently as possible is vital in supporting the wider research work at PHU. The Research Manager position is key in enabling this. This post will oversee the Portsmouth Research Office function, supporting the Research & Development Manager closely. The Research Manager provides operational oversight and leadership of the Research Office, leading on quality reporting both in terms of study progression and key performance indicators. The Research Manager will provide leadership in terms of values and culture of Office team staff, enabling team members to grow and problem-solve independently while ensuring compliance and efficiency. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced clinical research management professional to take on a position with the ability to make a real impact and embed change.
This role also forms part of the research quality management system and will help ensure and report on compliance, particularly in the development and oversight of locally developed (sponsored) studies. The post holder will work closely with the R&D Manager to make sure that the strategic direction of the Office team aligns with the wider department and that team priorities reflect this.
This is an excellent opportunity to work with, and lead, a friendly and professional research office team who are keen to develop further. The position is a substantive, full-time role, site-based in Portsmouth Hospitals Universities NHS Trust. However, as the Research Department is a Single Corporate Service across PHU and IWT, collaborative working is imperative and as such, occasional travel between sites is required. Equally, this role requires some travel for external meetings, with the opportunity for some flexible working arrangements.
This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in a team looking to grow and achieve the highest possible standards. We have a culture of teamwork, continuous improvement, and learning from everything we do.
Informal approaches and visits are strongly welcomed and encouraged. Such approaches should be addressed to Joe Shoebridge, R&D Manager, E-mail: joe.shoebridge@porthosp.nhs.uk.
