Would you like to take the next step in your nursing career and support the delivery of world class health research to improve people's lives?

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) East of England Research Delivery Network, for two Senior Agile Research Delivery Team Nurses to join the Agile Team based at the Lister Hospital.

As part of the team you would be working in a range of non-hospital settings (e.g., primary care, community services, care homes, schools) to support and champion health and social care research. The catchment area will be within Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes.

The role is people focused involving recruiting participants into a wide range of research studies, receiving informed consent, conducting study procedures and collecting baseline and follow‑up data in accordance with ICH GCP. The role can also involve office‑based work at times.

Where a vacancy is advertised as a temporary position, the duration will be specified in the advert. If the vacancy becomes permanent towards the end of the specified duration, the successful applicant may not be required to re‑apply and can be slotted into the role on a permanent basis if appropriate. If you are an internal applicant applying for a temporary working arrangement, please see the attached notes on secondments.

We have a Disability Confident employer status (achieved 2019) and are proud to support members of the UK armed forces, reservists, cadet instructors, veterans and military spouses/partners into employment. Carers are also welcomed and supported with flexible working arrangements.

The post holder must be a Registered Nurse (with valid NMC) and possess excellent organisational, communication and interpersonal skills. Previous experience as a Research Nurse is highly desirable, but not essential as training can be provided. A wide range of clinical experience is important.
