We're looking for someone who brings both
clinical and research expertise
— a nurse who is motivated by the scientific process and the operational challenge of running studies successfully.

Essential Requirements:

  • Registered Nurse (NMC registration).
  • Proven
    clinical research experience
    — please summarise in your cover sheet including
    phases, indications, duration, and type of studies
    .
  • Ability to manage studies independently, demonstrating initiative and accountability.
  • Strong understanding of GCP and research governance.
  • Excellent organisational and communication skills.

Desirable Experience:

  • Previous exposure to studies in
    Respiratory, Cardiology, Women's Health, or Devices
    .
  • Experience in developing or improving processes within a research setting.
  • Previous leadership or team coordination experience.

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of an exciting
    start-up phase
    for a new clinical research unit.
  • Take ownership of your studies and grow into a leadership role.
  • Work in a collaborative, forward-thinking environment that values development and innovation.
