Sustainability

At Queen Victoria Hospital we want to be the first Net Zero Hospital in England, and to achieve that wants every member of staff to be a green champion. The way in which the Trust works has a significant impact on the organisation’s carbon footprint and that of our patients. From the heat, light and power supplies within the hospital to avoiding unnecessary patient journeys, the Trust is empowering all staff to create a sustainable health and care environment for future generations.

The Trust expects all staff to reuse and recycle more, to use energy and water efficiently, to walk or cycle to work if you can, and to have a focus on sustainability in the workplace.

We are looking for an experienced Clinical Research Nurse - Part-time (30 hours per week)to join the Research and Innovation team at Queen Victoria Hospital.

We undertake work across a range of specialties, which means plenty of variety in the role - from questionnaire studies right up to full scale clinical drug/device trials. You'll need good organisational skills, high attention to detail, and considerable experience working in clinical research.

This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated research nurse or practitioner who can work independently while contributing actively to a supportive multidisciplinary research team.

The postholder will coordinate a portfolio of clinical research studies across the Trust’s specialist services. They will identify and recruit eligible participants, support informed consent, coordinate research-related assessments and follow-up, and maintain accurate study documentation and data.

Working closely with principal investigators, clinical teams, support departments, sponsors and research networks, the postholder will help ensure that studies are set up and delivered safely, efficiently and in accordance with the protocol, Good Clinical Practice and applicable research governance requirements.
