Description

A new and exciting opportunity has arisen for a number of research Support Assistants to join the team within the NIHR Clinical Research Network North West Coast (CRN NWC).

We are looking for self-motivated, research interested individuals who want to contribute to research that looks to provide answers to important research questions.

We need an innovative workforce to support research studies that will be opened in non-hospital settings, such as care homes, hospices, schools, local authorities & charitable organisations.

The roles offer exciting opportunities to help shape Health and Social Care research delivery in the CRN NWC.

The key aims of this post are to

Build relationships in these settings so that sites consider involvement in research that is important to their populations.

Support the team with delivery of NIHR portfolio studies within social care settings. This will involve providing basic nursing care to research participants. Collecting baseline observations and demographic data and blood and swab samples as required. Some data collection and administrative tasks to help the research study run within ethical guidelines.

The post holder will be accountable & responsible to the Senior Research Nurse who will line manage them.

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was created on 1 October 2019 following the merger of two adult acute Trusts, Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust.

The merger provides an opportunity to reconfigure services in a way that provides the best healthcare services to the city and improves the quality of care and health outcomes that patients experience.

The Trust runs Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital, Liverpool University Dental Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

It serves a core population of around 630,000 people across Merseyside as well as providing a range of highly specialist services to a catchment area of more than two million people in the North West region and beyond.
