Manchester, United Kingdom The Christie NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are looking to appoint a Research Practitioner (Band 4) in the Lung Cancer Research team. The role has scope to transition to that of a Senior Research Practitioner (Band 5) following a competency review. The research teams form part of the Research and Innovation division and are made up of a multi-disciplinary group of staff who are dedicated to cancer research and treatment.

An informal conversation to discuss the post is highly recommended.

The role will work across the clinical and administrative areas of the Lung research team. This will require working in clinical areas under the supervision of clinical research nurses and translational research facilitators and working in administrative areas under the supervision of the trial coordinators and research managers. The post-holder will provide clinical support for patients, within the boundaries of their own competence, and under the supervision and delegation of investigators and nurses. This will include tasks such as collecting biological samples, observations, data and quality of life questionnaires from trial participants. The administrative role will involve the management of a portfolio of clinical projects with support from other colleagues. This includes entering data from patient visits, responding to trial queries, completing trial-related records, filing key trial documents, assisting with invoicing, working with members of the core Research and Innovation team, liaising with pharmaceutical contacts, and assisting colleagues with other administrative tasks.

You should be in possession of, or working towards, the National Care Certificate

The Lung team works on studies including early phase, biomarker trials, real-world data, radiotherapy and biobanking research projects. The Christie’s research teams contribute towards pioneering research and innovation, and we constantly work towards improving cancer care and patient outcomes.

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest cancer treatment centres in Europe, and an international leader in cancer research and development. We are one of the leading centres in the UK for clinical trials and radiotherapy research. Treating more than 40,000 patients a year, we are the first UK centre to be officially accredited as a comprehensive cancer centre. The Clinical Research Facility (CRF) at The Christie is also one of four specialist units in Manchester for experimental research that make up the NIHR Manchester CRF, providing us with the dedicated space and expertise required to deliver intensive and complex studies in safe environment.

Since 2014 The Christie & University of Manchester along with UCL are together the CRUK Lung Cancer Centre of Excellence, our research team includes specialist researchers and clinicians in translational and biomarker research. By becoming a member of the Lung Cancer Research Team, you will be joining a dynamic team who strive to work collaboratively across the academic, clinical and administrative teams.
