The Hepatology service within Gastroenterology is offering an excellent opportunity for two enthusiastic nurses to contribute to join the current Hepatology Research Team to further develop research in this service. 

This will include the delivery of a number of clinical research projects requiring expertise (with suitable training provided if needed) in multiple aspects of research, ranging from both outpatient and in patient visits to computer-office-based work including data protection and research study planning and set up.

The role will require enthusiasm, commitment and an ability to be self-motivated. The service offers a friendly and supportive working environment along with personal development opportunities.

Applications are invited from nurses who would like to work in clinical research.

Successful applicants will have the ability to work independently, manage their own caseload and effectively communicate in various formats. A degree of flexibility is required for this post as the job may require travel, with occasional unsociable hours.
