Research Nurse | Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Clinical Research Nurse to join the award-winning St John's Institute of Dermatology based at Guy's Hospital, which aims to better understand fundamental disease mechanisms over time and then identify when and how best to intervene.

The internationally leading research programme includes multi-centre observational studies involving longitudinal clinical data and biological sample collections, as well as interventional studies. The Institute runs the largest skin bioresource in the UK, providing immediate access to data and samples for research.

You will work as part of and be supported by a large and well established multi-disciplinary research team with a strong track record of producing high impact, translational research.

The post will be based at Guy's Hospital. However, it is a requirement of your employment that you be prepared to work at additional locations according to the needs of the projects.

To screen, coordinate and recruit eligible patients, carry out clinical tasks such as venepuncture, and ECG, meticulously record various data points and deliver interventions according to specific study protocols. You will be responsible for data entry, ensuring patient safety and maintaining high levels of quality assurance expected at GSTT. You will also be involved in the set-up of new trials and will be required to work within multidisciplinary teams to deliver excellent quality clinical research.

St John's Institute of Dermatology provides a range of services and facilities to support research aimed at improving outcomes in people with skin disease. Work extends from genetic discovery through to a comprehensive portfolio of clinical trials (phase II onwards) and biomarker-enabled precision medicine. The Institute works with investigators within both the academic and industry community.
