Job Summary:

We are seeking a committed and enthusiastic Band 6 Clinical Research Nurse to work on a diverse portfolio of studies that aim to understand how to protect people against respiratory viral infections, within the Section of Adult Infectious Diseases as part of Professor Chris Chiu's research group ).

Influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and coronaviruses (CoV) are major causes of severe disease worldwide. They occur both seasonally and, as with SARS-CoV-2, may be responsible for devastating pandemics. There remain many unanswered questions about why some people develop severe disease while others do not when infected with the same virus. Better understanding of these differences will lead directly to improvements in the development of more effective vaccines and treatments.

Professor Chiu is a leading expert in the field of Controlled Human Infection (CHI) Studies. The specialist study design involves the deliberate infection of healthy volunteers. You will work with Professor Chris Chiu, the Lead Nurse and team of Research Nurses to recruit participants to these world-leading experimental medicine and patient-facing studies.

These unique studies will require you to screen and enrol volunteers; assist with virus inoculation; monitor participants during their subsequent in-patient stay in the quarantine facility; obtain clinical samples, including by phlebotomy and assisting with bronchoscopy; and accurately record and enter clinical data.

  • Work with the team to ensure efficient day-to-day delivery of the current study portfolio.
  • Provide a high standard of customer service to our study participants.
  • Assist in the advertisement of open studies to aid recruitment.
  • Screen participants for enrolment against the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
  • Educate participants on study procedures.
  • Collect clinical data including ECGs and spirometry.
  • Monitor participants during in-patient stays and clinical procedures such as bronchoscopy.
