Job overview

Main duties of the job

Clinical research is a rewarding and patient-centred career. Our clinical research plays a key role in advancing clinical practice and shaping future treatment standards both locally and nationally. We are committed to ensuring equitable access to research by embedding studies within routine clinical pathways, enabling eligible patients to participate and benefit from novel therapies while enhancing their overall care experience. 

The Clinical Research Facility adult nursing team is a dynamic and supportive group within the wider UHS Research & Development workforce. We work collaboratively with clinicians, allied health professionals, and external partners to deliver high-quality research across inpatient, outpatient, and community settings. We can provide a rich and supportive environment for professional development, learning, and gaining cross-speciality experience in clinical research.

We have an exciting opportunity in our Clinical Research Facility (CRF) based at Southampton General Hospital, for a NMC registered nurse to join our adult research nursing team as a full-time Band 5 research nurse. As part of the team you will work with  clinical and non-clinical teams to support the delivery of clinical research in the CRF and in the clinical areas.

Working for our organisation

University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.

Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast. 

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

At UHS, we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients. 

At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognising that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
