London, United Kingdom The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Breast Research Nurse to join the Breast Research unit at The Royal Marsden in Chelsea.

The Royal Marsden is a world leader in cancer research, treatment and education. Together with our academic partner, The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), we are the largest comprehensive cancer centre in Europe and the only National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) specialising in cancer in the UK.

We are looking for enthusiastic and self-motivated nurses to contribute to the ground-breaking research run out of this unit. The post holder should have experience in clinical research nursing and/or oncology. You will work within the guidelines and policies for the conduct of clinical trials, ensuring high standards of practice in accordance with the principles of GCP. You will work under the supervision of the Senior Breast Research Nurses.

This post is for 11.5 months and the successful candidate will work in Chelsea. They should also have a flexible approach to their duties and the ability to work both as part of the team as well as independently. In addition, you will have excellent communication and be supportive and open to new initiatives. Prior enquires welcome and encouraged.

Main duties of the job

The post holder will work under the supervision of the senior research nurse or Study Site Coordinators (SSC), and has a key role to play in the day-to-day running of clinical trials within the Trust. These trials may be related to anti-cancer treatment (e.g. chemotherapy, radiotherapy and biological therapy), and other aspects of cancer care, such as screening. Central to the role are the recruitment, education and monitoring of patients entering a clinical trial and maintenance of accurate and comprehensive records of data derived from the research studies. Working closely with the principal investigator and members of the multidisciplinary team, the postholder will support patients who choose to participate in clinical trials by providing advice and information and acting as the patients' advocate. The post holder will be involved in ensuring that any research undertaken within the department safeguards the well-being of the patients, and is conducted within ICH Good Clinical Practice Guidelines for Research.

The research nurse may contribute to the development of the trial design and has a key role in incorporating the patients and nurses perspective. Liaison with pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions during trial development will be required.

We encourage opportunities to undertake personal research projects or further study, in consultation with the lead medical investigator and Senior Nurse, Clinical Trials.
