Clinical Research Nurse (Best 4)
EMS Healthcare, United Kingdom
Job Description
We are looking for Clinical Research Nurses on a fixed term contract until December 2026
Working Monday Friday with no requirement to work nights.
We are looking for Registered nurses who can work in the following regions Yorkshire amp; Humber, East Midlands, East of England and Southeast Central.
The salary we are offering for this role is 38,000 -42,000 dependent on experience.
Building on our track record of delivering pioneering research we are working in collaboration with Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, University of Cambridge and the Cancer Research UK (CRUK) King’s College London Cancer Prevention Trials Unit (CPTU) to deliver a clinical trial into the early detection of Oesophageal Cancer, the BEST 4 Screening Study.
This is an exciting new project funded by CRUK and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). The trial aims to determine whether the capsule sponge test can be used to determine early diagnosis of cancer of the oesophagus and reduce the number of deaths due to oesophageal cancer.
The BEST4 screening study will recruit 120,000 participants, of whom 40,000 will receive the capsule sponge test on the BEST 4 mobile units located in approximately 5 regions across the UK. To support this study, we are recruiting Clinical Research Nurses to work across different locations (within a designated region). This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in a ground-breaking clinical trial and work across different locations carrying out clinical trial activities to ensure the successful delivery and recruitment of the BEST 4 study.
You will be responsible for managing clinics on the BEST 4 mobile unit and will be trained to administer the capsule sponge test. You will work alongside established clinical teams, researchers, research nurses and administrators to facilitate recruitment, sample collection, data entry and providing clinical support as required. You will therefore be required to travel to various sites and undertake clinics in a mobile unit.
You will also need to liaise closely with the clinic coordinator regarding appointments and cover on the unit. You will work closely with the Clinical Coordinator, Clinical Research Team and Project managers at KCL, Cambridge and EMS to ensure we meet the study objectives. You will be responsible for ensuring clinical and regulatory compliance, and that each participant journey and their individual experience is to the highest standard, which is a vital part of this role.
