Job overview

New drugs and treatments are currently being tested that are bringing about real change to haematology patients, helping to improve quality and prolonging life in many. Why not find out more by joining our team of research nurses and clinical research practitioners testing new treatments? After comprehensive training, you will be managing a portfolio of phase & trials. You will be central to patient appointments, explaining the trials, collecting data, providing direct care including administration of new SACT therapies, and being a key support for the patients and their families. You will be working mainly Monday through Friday, no late shifts and night duties. 

The post holder will work in the late phase haematology (LPH) research team, which is part of the Oncology and Haematology Directorate, and is involved in a wide spectrum of clinical research, predominantly phase II/III and translational research. The team works in collaboration with the TV&SM CRN as well as academic, charity and commercial partners, and is responsible for the delivery of the late phase trials in the Haematology portfolio. The post holder will work closely with other research nurses, clinical research practitioners, data managers, clinical teams, and designated junior doctors/SPR’s, continually striving to improve quality of care and clinical outcomes.

We are seeking registered nurses and will consider applicants from a variety of backgrounds and clinical settings who could bring their experiences and skills to our teams. Successful candidates will be interested in clinical research, committed to delivering a high standard of care, and enjoy the challenge of working in a dynamic clinical environment. We are looking for highly motivated individuals with excellent communication, organisational, and time management skills. Experience within oncology and haematology, and chemotherapy administration would be an advantage but not essential as training will be given. As a department we are committed to supporting the ongoing development of our staff.
