Research Nurse Oncology Cancer Trials
Fixed term - 2 years
Band 6
We are looking to recruit a nursing professional to an exciting and challenging research post that will be based in the Oncology department within the Anchor Unit at ARI. The post will allow you to develop the research nurse skills required to deliver exceptional clinical research care to patients involved in Oncology clinical research 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 of those participating in research trials. This will include trial set up processes, recruitment, monitoring of study patients, collection of accurate data and liaising with data monitors. The main duties/responsibilities of the post will be in under the direction of the Oncologists with additional guidance from our established research team and senior Oncology/ Haematology research nurse.
Previous experience in Oncology would be an advantage. However, consideration will be given to the right calibre of candidate with little or no previous experience, with a keen willingness to learn. The incumbent will require excellent communication skills, the ability to work flexibly in response to study challenges and be able to manage caseload appropriately to the highest standard expected within clinical research.
This post includes an educational element for student nurses, staff and patients. We value and encourage student nurses to spend time in our department. This role includes teaching students when they are placed within the anchor unit.
