Description

We are looking for an enthusiastic, hardworking and highly motivated administrator to join our experienced and dynamic research management team at the Leicester Diabetes Centre based at the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust.

The Centre forms one of the largest facilities in Europe for conducting first class clinical research in diabetes and other long term health conditions.

We are dedicated to ensuring that people with diabetes and other long term health conditions live long, healthy lives.

Leicester Diabetes Centre is a partnership between the NHS, the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, and is academically affiliated with the University of Leicester.

The centre has attracted a range of prestigious National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) funded infrastructure and other funding notably from the British Heart Foundation, European Union, Medical Research Council and Diabetes UK.

The centre also hosts a local NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), and NIHR BRC (Biomedical Research Centre) theme in Diet, Lifestyle and Physical Activity, and (NIHR)-funded Patient Recruitment Centre (PRC) for commercial research.

The post holder will work alongside other administrators to provide support to the Trial Managers/Coordinators and Research Nurses in all aspects of research project administration and will provide general administration services to assist with the efficient running of the Leicester Diabetes Centre and the trial management team.

The role involves tasks such as data entry, mail box management, arranging meetings, booking rooms, minute taking, site file management, contacting patients to arrange appointments, producing appointment/results letters, ordering of supplies, logging of all study expenditure and archiving.

We are one of the biggest and busiest NHS trusts in the country, incorporating the General, Glenfield and Royal Infirmary hospitals.

We have our very own Children's Hospital and run one of the country's leading heart centres.

Our team is made up of more than 17,000 staff providing a range of services primarily for the one million residents of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

We work with partners at the University of Leicester and De Montfort University providing world-class teaching to nurture and develop the next generation of doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, many of whom go on to spend their working lives with us.

Our purpose is to provide 'Caring at its best' and our staff have helped us create a set of values that embody who we are and what we're here to do

They are:
We focus on what matters most
We treat others how we would like to be treated
We are passionate and creative in our work
We do what we say we are going to do
We are one team and we are best when we work together

Our patients are at the heart of all we do and we believe that 'Caring at its best' is not just about the treatments and services we provide, but about giving our patients the best possible experience.
