Working in Research is different: it’s about providing the best research opportunities for our patients; be that by organising and running patient clinics or computer-based data work. If this appeals to you...
Come and join our research team!
The Renal Research Team are a small, supportive, and highly motivated team looking for a new member to help contribute to the progression of treatments for patients suffering from renal disease. This post is ideal for those who wish to build on their existing clinical experience and contribute to the development of evidence-based patient care.
If you are dedicated, enthusiastic, with exceptional organisational skills, planning, and attention to detail then we may be the team for you.
You would work alongside experienced colleagues based in the Clinical Research Centre at Southmead Hospital to support a portfolio of both commercial and non-commercial research studies.
Renal experience would be an advantage, but this does not override the qualities of motivation and keenness to learn. The successful applicant will receive a local research induction and will be fully supported and trained to develop in the post.
We welcome informal visits and encourage you to contact us about the role.
