This role supports high‑quality health and care research across Lancashire, South Cumbria, Greater Manchester and the North West. You will work flexibly across hospitals, GP practices, dental clinics, schools, domiciliary care services, care homes and prisons, and help deliver NIHR portfolio studies in multiple clinical specialties.

Key responsibilities include:

• Supporting the delivery of clinical research studies in accordance with study protocols, regulatory requirements and Good Clinical Practice (GCP).
• Identifying and recruiting suitable patients and participants into research studies.
• Supporting the informed consent process in line with ethical and regulatory standards.
• Assisting with research‑related procedures, including data collection, sample collection and participant follow‑up.
• Maintaining accurate research documentation and study records.
• Working collaboratively with research teams, clinical staff and partner organisations to support effective study delivery.
• Supporting participant safety, dignity and confidentiality throughout the research process.
• Contributing to screening, recruitment and retention of study participants.
• Escalating issues or risks relating to study delivery to senior research staff when required.
• Supporting the coordination and organisation of research activities across multiple sites.
