Job description

We are seeking an experienced Clinical Trials Nurse to join our team as a Band 6 Research Nurse, supporting the delivery of vaccine-related clinical trials across two key sites:

Sites:

• West Wing Clinical Trials Unit – a dedicated research facility
• Chelsea MDU – where patients receive both standard care and participate in clinical trials

This is a full-time position (1.0 WTE), funded for 18 months. The post will be shared equally between the two sites (0.5 WTE each) to ensure continuity and collaboration. We are also open to applicants interested in a job share arrangement, with 0.5 WTE allocated to each site.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of vaccine research while gaining experience in two distinct clinical environments.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Coordinate and supervise shifts, communicating effectively with a multi-disciplinary team to deliver high-quality, evidence-based patient care.
2. Exercise clinical judgment and decision-making regarding patient needs and long-term care plans.
3. Participate in the organization and management of clinical trials, including patient recruitment, education, monitoring, and liaising with trial sponsors.
