Fixed term 9 months maternity cover.

We are looking for a highly motivated individual to fill this position in our Oncology and Haematology research team at the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust.

The Oncology Haematology research portfolio ranges from observational studies to interventional clinical trials with over 60 active trials running.

This role in particular will support the breast and melanoma research portfolio but the post holder will need to be flexible to work in other related areas as demand arises.

We invite applications from nurses, AHPs or clinical research practitioners. Informal enquiries would be welcomed.

The job entails supporting all aspects of trial organisation from trial set up to completion as an integrated member of the clinical research team whilst also maintaining clinical skills such as venepuncture, blood sample processing, measuring blood pressure and recording 12 lead ECGs. The role includes direct patient contact.

To fill this role we are looking for a highly motivated nurse/AHP/clinical research practitioner who pride themselves on their excellent planning, attention to detail and flexibility. Previous research experience is desirable but not essential.
