Luton, United Kingdom East London NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic person to join the Research & Innovation team working to increase, facilitate, and sustain the delivery of high quality research studies at the East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT).

Working as part of a team of Clinical Studies Officers and Assistants, the main duties of the post-holder will be those concerned with identifying, recruiting and supporting service users through the research process as well as providing support as necessary to study teams and clinicians. They will actively promote research amongst clinicians, service users and the wider NHS.

The role is really varied, working across many different studies and with different teams. They are employed by the trust (ELFT) with funding provided by the local North Thames branch of the NIHR (National Institute for Health Research) CRN (Clinical Research Network).

The purpose of this role is to support investigators to conduct clinical research at ELFT by:

- Working with investigators to support the setup of new studies in compliance with regulatory requirements and according to the protocol
- Identifying potential study participants from ELFT clinical services and encouraging their enrolment with fully informed consent
- Facilitating delivery of study procedures in line with the study protocol, performing assessments and follow-up of study participants
- Contributing to the development of a culture within the Trust where research is actively promoted at all levels.

Research at ELFT has influenced public and professional debates on policy and clinical issues in mental health care on local, national and international levels. The Trust has led over £20m in competitively awarded research grants and been shortlisted for the HSJ Award Clinical Research Impact for using DIALOG+ to improve patient outcomes in community mental health services. ELFT has a history of collaborative work with universities, including:

- partnering with Queen Mary, University of London on the research Unit for Social and Community Psychiatry, a designated World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre, and the only one specifically for 'mental health services development' in the world;
- fostering an award-winning lived experience advisory group with City, University of London: and
- a new strategic partnership with the University of Cambridge to help tackle major areas of unmet health needs in the community.

The base for this post will be Luton, but the post holder will be required to provide support across the whole Trust geography as needed, therefore the ability and willingness to travel is a requirement of the role.
