Ready for an exciting career in research? The oncology and haematology research team oversees a diverse portfolio of research studies. Studies range from local academic studies to international multi‑centre commercial clinical trials.
The role is based in the Clinical Research Facility within Sussex House in Brighton, covering core clinical hours 09:00 – 17:00, Monday to Friday.
This post is ideally suited to a Registered Nurse with a background in related specialties who wish to develop and broaden their experience, or for nurses with prior experience in research delivery. Relevant training will be given.
Please note that the role of the research nurse is significantly different from clinical services. You will spend much of your time at the computer setting up studies, preparing for visits, corresponding with participants and study representatives. You will be independently recruiting trial participants and running study visits, and ensuring data is collected thoroughly and accurately.
If you are a Registered Nurse who is motivated and enthusiastic, able to work both autonomously, as well as part of a small team, and have a strong interest in clinical research, we would like to hear from you. Informal visits to the Clinical Research Facility are essential to see if this role is a right fit for you. If a visit is not possible, please arrange a video or telephone call.

- Excellence in communication, preparation and attention to detail in liaising with participants, clinicians, trial sponsors and research colleagues.

- Carrying out specialist nursing procedures and treatments as directed by research protocols.
- Providing specialist advice and education to patients/participants and carers regarding the clinical research and specialist areas.

- Supervising other nursing team members and support staff.
- Working flexibly across various clinical environments, prioritizing, managing competing priorities and problem‑solving independently.
