Research Nurse Haematology Cancer Trials
Fixed term 2 years
Band 6
We are looking to recruit a nursing professional to an exciting and challenging research post based in the Oncology department within the Anchor Unit at ARI. This position offers the opportunity to develop research nurse skills in delivering exceptional clinical research care to patients involved in Oncology clinical studies. You will be part of a well-established team of research nurses who will assist in training and mentoring.
You will assist in the delivery of direct/indirect care and treatments for research trial participants. Responsibilities include trial setup, recruitment, monitoring study patients, collecting accurate data, and liaising with data monitors. The main duties will be under the direction of the Oncologists, with guidance from our research team and senior Oncology/Haematology research nurses.
Previous experience in Oncology is advantageous; however, candidates with little or no experience and a keen willingness to learn will also be considered. The successful candidate must have excellent communication skills, be flexible in responding to study challenges, and manage caseloads to the highest standards expected within clinical research.
This role includes an educational component for student nurses, staff, and patients. We encourage student nurses to spend time in our department and will involve teaching students during their placement within the anchor unit.
Interested applicants are encouraged to contact Shirley Richardson, Senior Research Nurse, at 01224 554781 for further information.
Interviews will be held on Wednesday, 2nd July 2025.
