Job description

Do you have a passion for research? Are you looking to work for a flexible team, playing a key role in widely recognised emergency medicine research studies? This is an exciting time for emergency medicine research at NNUH. We have a new dynamic research team delivering a variety of studies and are looking to expand with the addition of a band 6 research nurse/practitioner. Significant emergency medicine experience is essential. Research experience is desirable but not essential.

We have a shared goal within our team; to undertake clinical research to improve treatment and care of patients here at NNUH and beyond. The ideal candidate will be dedicated to this goal and will recognise its significance; as well as the importance of our Trust’s PRIDE values. Research is highly regulated; you should have an understanding of trial protocols and policies, and an awareness of research governance.

As post-holder, you will play a key role in the delivery of all Emergency medicine research studies. Our strong links with the Norwich Research Park and the University of East Anglia as well as colleagues around the region, means you will have the opportunity to network and share knowledge and findings.

As an emergency department research nurse you will be people focused in your approach; recruiting, educating and monitoring those in the trial, and will collect and document your findings accurately. This will be across a wide variety of studies coving both the adult and paediatric emergency departments. You will have excellent communication skills with a positive and flexible approach to the workload. You should be a qualified Registered Nurse, have research experience, or experience of working in a hospital setting, or working towards a health/research qualification (or have demonstrable equivalent experience.)

Clinical Research is a highly regulated field, the role involves using an in-depth knowledge of trial protocols and their application in practice, alongside a working knowledge and compliance with the regulations. You should therefore have a good understanding of research procedures, documentation and policies, as well as an awareness of local, national and international research governance issues or have a willingness to develop this knowledge.

This post is perfect for an organised individual who is happy to work independently and as part of a wider team.
