We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Clinical Trials Assistant to support the delivery of innovative clinical research studies across the Trust. Working as part of a flexible, multidisciplinary research workforce, you will contribute to studies across a range of clinical specialties, helping to advance medical knowledge and improve patient outcomes.
You will play an important role in supporting the delivery of clinical trials from study set-up through to completion. Your responsibilities will include identifying potentially eligible patients, supporting recruitment and follow-up, and assisting research teams to ensure studies are delivered safely, efficiently and in accordance with study protocols.
You will work closely with our research nurses and wider clinical teams, helping to ensure that patients receive appropriate support throughout their participation in research. Comprehensive, study-specific training will be provided to develop your knowledge, skills and confidence in the role.
About Our Team
Although our research activities span multiple specialties across the Trust, we work collaboratively as one team, united by our Trust values and our shared commitment to delivering high-quality, safe and effective clinical research.
We foster a supportive culture of learning, training and professional development, encouraging colleagues to share knowledge, develop their skills and continually improve the quality of care and experience we provide to research participants.
Working as a partnership, both Isle of Wight NHS Trust and Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust have a shared vision for excellence in care for our patients and communities; with a set of strategic aims underpinning how we will achieve this.
The single corporate service is delivered across both organisations. You may be based at either IWT or PHU and individuals may be required to undertake business travel between sites. For leaders managing staff across multi-site locations, you will need to be visible and provide in person leadership. The arrangements and frequency will be agreed locally.
