Research Nurse – Clinical Research Facility

The Glasgow Clinical Research Facility incorporates Clinical Research Facilities at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Jointly they provide a streamlined service to investigators to conduct their clinical research efficiently and safely. We are recruiting Research Nurses to assist us in providing high quality nursing care for patient’s and volunteers participating in Clinical Research. You will be trained and supported to coordinate the recruitment, treatment, education, monitoring and follow up of research participants and the collection and documentation of accurate study data. You will work collaboratively with Principal and Chief Investigators and the wider multi disciplinary team in the management of your own caseload of research patients. It is essential that you are currently Registered Nurse with relevant clinical experience and educated to (or working towards) a degree level. Research experience is desirable although transferable skills can be demonstrated. You will work to research principles including confidentiality, randomisation procedures, informed consent and ethical issues, and an understanding of research within the context of the UK Policy Framework for Health and Social Care Research and Good Clinical Practice. Attention to detail, strong organisational and communication skills, good IT skills and a methodical approach are key requirements, along with a proven ability to work independently and as part of a team. The Clinical Research Facility has research Nurse cover from 0800-1700 Monday to Friday predominantly the hours are 0830-1630 but there is a requirement to take a flexible approach in order to meet the needs of research studies, with a requirement to work unsocial hours and weekends as necessary. The ability to travel between all sites within NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is also essential. This post requires membership of Disclosure Scotland’s PVG Scheme. PLEASE READ AND SAVE THE CANDIDATE APPLICATION PACK BEFORE SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. This post will be closing on the 24th May 2019.
