Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen an enthusiastic Clinical Trial Coordinator to join the delivery team, working with the R&D Delivery Manager to promote and facilitate research activity at the Trust, develop and extend the range of research undertaken and instill a Trust wide research culture.

This is an excellent development opportunity for an organized individual, providing hands-on day to day study management to deliver increasing patient recruitment to time and target.

You will be based at either the Queen Elizabeth Hospital or University Hospital Lewisham. Cross site work will be required and hospital transport is provided.

The successful applicant will be involved in the setting up and conduct of studies, data management and patient liaison. You will be required to build strong relationships with patients, investigators, research teams, service departments and external research partners.

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust is a community focused provider of local and acute care, providing high quality services to over one million people living across the London boroughs of Lewisham, Greenwich and Bexley.

With a turnover of around £700 million, we provide services at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, University Hospital Lewisham and a range of community settings in Lewisham.

We also provide some services at Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup.

As an organisation, we've made significant improvements for patients and staff in the last two and-a-half years.

This is reflected in our most recent Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection (from February 2020), which found improvements across the organisation and gave us an improved rating of "Good" in the Well-Led and Effective domains, in addition to the rating of "Good" that we had already achieved in the Caring domain.

Our staff culture change programme has been key to the Trust's improvement journey, as we've stabilised our workforce by reducing vacancy rates and improving staff retention.

We've also significantly increased the representation of minority ethnic leaders across our clinical and corporate teams.

The post holder will:

be responsible for the day to day management of a portfolio of studies at the Trust.

work with colleagues to promote and facilitate research activity within the trust.

support the Senior Clinical Trial Co-ordinator in achieving the team objectives to develop and extend the range of research undertaken
