    Job summary

    An exciting opportunity has become available with the vibrant Liver Research Team at King's College Hospital for a band 6 clinical research nurse. As a member of the Liver Research team, you will be based at King's College Hospital, Denmark Hill. However, there may be a requirement for you to provide off-site support at the Guy's and St Thomas's Clinical Research Facility if any liver clinical research projects are being conducted there. The Liver Research team at the Institute of Liver Studies in King's College Hospital has an impressive portfolio that covers a wide range of studies, including observational cohort studies and interventional trials (phase 1-3) for various liver diseases. The team has gained a reputation for excellence in research delivery. We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced clinical research nurse to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for coordinating and conducting clinical research activities, such as participant recruitment, data collection and analysis, and ensuring compliance with study protocols and regulatory requirements. To be successful in this role, you should have a proven track record in clinical research, including experience in various research methodologies and a strong understanding of Good Clinical Practice guidelines. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential as you will be working with a diverse range of individuals, including patients, researchers, and industry partners.

    Main duties of the job

    You will be part of the team of liver research nurses to deliver the non-commercial trials and commercial trials within the portfolio, in accordance with the principles of GCP. This will include important trials with a national profile in liver diseases that are both challenging and interesting. The successful candidate will be expected to appropriately manage participants throughout the research pathway; as well as assume administrative responsibility for allocated projects. This will include study and data management activities, with close supervision by the senior research nurse.

    You will interact with all relevant members of the multidisciplinary team to ensure that all research related activity is undertaken with patient safety as a key priority and that all projects are delivered efficiently, with adherence to time and target.

    Excellent communication skills and willingness to learn are essential qualities in the successful applicant. Knowledge of related disease is desirable. For this post you must demonstrate the ability to manage your own workload; understand clinical trial activity and GCP and be able to complete trial documentation accurately and in a timely manner.
