Our Clinical Research facility provides a high quality, clinical environment, in which children and young people can take part in research programmes safely and effectively, according to robust and ethically approved protocols.

This is an excellent opportunity for highly motivated paediatric nurse. You must have effective leadership and organizational skills and be looking for a new and exciting challenge. You should demonstrate the ability to manage own workload and to work as part of a team. This post offers excellent opportunities in gaining research experience with flexible working hours with the opportunity to maintain your clinical skills, while being supported by an experienced team of research nurses.
