Join the Research Delivery Team at Sheffield Children's, where you will help support a variety of research studies and trials, mostly within the Emergency Department but also across the Trust.

As clinical trials grow in complexity and more specialties become research-active, this is a chance to collaborate with teams both within and outside the Trust, providing children and young people with opportunities to participate in exciting clinical research.

You will manage patient care pathways, recruiting and educating and monitoring research participants, and accurate data collection.

Current NMC registration is essential for this role. Given the portfolio of research the role will be delivering, Emergency Department experience is highly desirable.

Reporting into the Clinical Research Facility Manager, your responsibilities will include:

Coordinate and run paediatric clinical trials and studies ensuring compliance with research protocols and regulations.

Maintain accurate study documentation and site files.

Contribute to recruitment, consent procedures and information giving for participants.

Collaborate with research teams to ensure smooth trial execution.

Plan and deliver patient care, prioritising individual needs.

Advocate for participants throughout the research process.

Help develop junior colleagues and train the wider ED team in the studies currently being offered in the department
