Job description

We have an exciting opportunity for a highly skilled, driven and enthusiastic nurse to join our well-established clinical research team. Based in one of the most diverse and vibrant areas of London, Barts Health is the largest acute NHS Trust in England with a long-standing reputation of clinical excellence and innovation.

The successful candidate will be responsible for coordinating a portfolio of interventional and non-interventional clinical research studies within our Clinical Research Facility at Whipps Cross Hospital, as well as offering occasional support to their colleagues at the Royal London Hospital when required. They will be instrumental in the recruitment of patients in line with specified recruitment targets and timelines, alongside the provision of high quality, holistic patient care. Possessing excellent communication and interpersonal skills, you will collaborate closely with leading investigators, other research team members and the wider multidisciplinary team, to ensure the safety of patients throughout the trial. You will manage your own workload, so a proactive, flexible, responsible, and mature approach is essential. The need for accurate records within clinical research is fundamental, so exemplary documentation skills, a meticulous eye for detail and a high standard of IT skills is critical. We are a friendly and motivated team, and it is important that you are team-focused and driven to achieve team success. Phlebotomy and cannulation skills would be a definite advantage.

Barts Health is one of the largest NHS trusts in the country, and one of Britain’s leading healthcare providers.

The Barts Health group of NHS hospitals is entering an exciting new era on our improvement journey to becoming an outstanding organisation with a world-class clinical reputation. Having lifted ourselves out of special measures, we now have the impetus and breathing space to chart a fresh course in which we are continually striving to improve all our services for patients.

Our vision is to be a high-performing group of NHS hospitals, renowned for excellence and innovation, and providing safe and compassionate care to our patients in east London and beyond. That means being a provider of excellent patient safety, known for delivering consistently high standards of harm-free care and always caring for patients in the right place at the right time. It also means being an outstanding place to work, in which our WeCare values and behaviours are visible to all and guide us in how we work together.

We strive to live by our WeCare values and are committed to promoting inclusion, where every staff member has a sense of belonging. We value our differences and fully advocate, cultivate and support an inclusive working environment.
