The post holder will work within the Research team at the Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Trust. The purpose of the job is to set up and maintain studies, including invoicing and study closure and data entry and query resolution. Having achieved Foundation Trust status and been identified as a CHKS 40 Top Hospital and a Top 100 Healthcare employer, our focus is to offer the best possible care and treatment outcomes for our patients, and to continue to be the employer of choice for our staff. We focus on giving our patients the best outcomes of care and an excellent experience whilst in our hospital. We have on-going departmental, NIHR portfolio and commercial clinical trial activity with numerous trials currently open to recruitment, in follow up and many in development and set up.

By performing these duties, the RC works with the PI, research nurses, research team, sponsor, and Trust to support and provide guidance on the administration of the compliance, financial, personnel and other related aspects of the clinical study. The RC is responsible for the coordination of specific clinical trials within their allocated Clinical Research Team. Working closely with the lead research nurse/practioner of each trial, they are responsible for ensuring their allocated clinical trials are set up and managed in accordance with regulatory, sponsor and RD&I Office requirements.
