Research Nurse
NHS AfC: Band 6
Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the country. It provides a wide range of general and specialist clinical services and is a base for medical education, training and research.
The Trust comprises of four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton General Hospital in Banbury.
Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence. These values put patients at the heart of what we do and underpin the quality healthcare we would like for ourselves or a member of our family. Watch how we set out to deliver compassionate excellence via the OUH YouTube channel.
Many of our recruitment programmes use Value Based Interviewing to identify those who have the skills we seek, who share our values and who are able to deliver compassionate excellence from the outset. We know that this makes a significant difference to your job satisfaction and above all the outcomes and experience of our patients and their families.

Job overview
New drugs and treatments are currently being tested that are bringing about real change to haematology patients, helping to improve quality and prolonging life in many. Why not find out more by joining our team of research nurses and clinical research practitioners testing new treatments? After comprehensive training, you will be managing a portfolio of phase 2&3 trials. You will be central to patient appointments, explaining the trials, collecting data, providing direct care including administration of new SACT therapies, and being a key support for the patients and their families. You will be working mainly Monday through Friday, no late shifts and night duties.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will work in the late phase haematology (LPH) research team, which is part of the Oncology and Haematology Directorate, and is involved in a wide spectrum of clinical research, predominantly phase II/III and translational research. The team works in collaboration with the TV&SM CRN as well as academic, charity and commercial partners, and is responsible for the delivery of the late phase trials in the Haematology portfolio. The post holder will work closely with other research nurses, clinical research practitioners, data managers, clinical teams, and designated junior doctors/SPR’s, continually striving to improve quality of care and clinical outcomes.
Working for our organisation
We are seeking registered nurses and will consider applicants from a variety of backgrounds and clinical settings who could bring their experiences and skills to our teams. Successful candidates will be interested in clinical research, committed to delivering a high standard of care, and enjoy the challenge of working in a dynamic clinical environment. We are looking for highly motivated individuals with excellent communication, organisational, and time management skills. Experience within oncology and haematology, and chemotherapy administration would be an advantage but not essential as training will be given. As a department we are committed to supporting the ongoing development of our staff.
