Research nurse

The Gastroenterology research team runs clinical trials for patients primarily with Inflammatory Bowel Disease or Celiac Disease, together with Gastroenterologists, Industry and the Regional Research Delivery Network. We are looking for a Band 6 research nurse who can work within an established, experienced and supportive research team to recruit patients to our large portfolio of industry trials, monitoring and evaluating care and liaising with senior doctors and the wider IBD specialist team.

We exclusively manage a significant number of trials both commercial and academic. Our department comprises a large team of research nurses, practitioners and administrators who have an extensive portfolio of studies across both Hepatology and Gastroenterology research teams and share the facilities to deliver on these. We collaborate closely with the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) who monitors recruitment, provides nursing resources and organises meetings for healthcare professionals in the South-Central region, which provides a fantastic networking opportunity.

We are currently located on levels 5 and 6 of the John Radcliffe Hospital. Our clinical space is co-located alongside the Gastroenterology and Hepatology Day Case Unit on 6B, with our offices and lab space on Level 5.

We are seeking someone who is motivated, dynamic, looking for a new challenge, takes pride in delivering high standards of care, puts patient experience at the heart of what they do and ideally, has experience in research settings. Holding a UK recognised first level degree (HEI Level 6) in Nursing, being registered with the NMC and proficiency with Microsoft Office packages are essential requirements for the role. The post holder will be part of exciting projects helping to facilitate new pathways of care and will be able to communicate with senior doctors and be the first port of call for patients receiving new and innovative treatments.
