We are an independent contract research organisation (CRO) with a worldwide reputation for early clinical trials of new medicines, mainly in healthy volunteers, but also in patients.  We have a 145-bed research unit in North west London with first-class facilities, including wards, laboratories, pharmacy, sleep laboratory and endoscopy unit. 

We require full-time, permanent research nurses to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team running phase I & phase II clinical trials.  Duties include collecting trial data, safety monitoring, and adhering to trial protocols and legislation.  This is an opportunity to develop your skills in a new area of practice.

Successful candidates will have:

• adult NMC registration (RGN)
• At least 1 year’s post-registration experience (research experience is not essential)
• excellent organisational ability and written and oral communication skills
• an aptitude for paperwork and knowledge of Microsoft Office

You must also:

• be able to work evenings, weekends and nights (every 6 weeks)
• set very high standards for your own performance and be an exceptional team player

Senior Research Nurses must have experience of running phase 1, II or III clinical trials.

We provide an extensive training and induction programme, for which we have received a National Training Award.  Training includes aspects of clinical pharmacology and drug development.  Support is given with CPD.  You will be a primary contact for senior representatives from major pharmaceutical companies.
