A vacancy has arisen for a Band 5 nurse to join an established team in supporting clinical research in Critical Care and Emergency Medicine based at University Hospital, Coventry. Applications are welcomed from individuals with recent experience in an acute care setting who can demonstrate the knowledge and skills that would enable them to succeed in this post. Research nurses need to be empathetic and adept at establishing rapport with patients, their families and members of the multi-disciplinary teams involved in their care. Other key characteristics that help to make a good research nurse include resourcefulness, flexibility, and the willingness to adapt to the needs of the moment.

The ideal candidate will be dedicated to improving patient care, eager to learn, have an eye for detail and be able to demonstrate excellent documentation, organisational and time management skills. The post holder will work in conjunction with other team members to ensure that all research is conducted to the highest standards, safeguarding the wellbeing of the participants, in accordance with all current legislative, ethical and governance principles and policies.

While experience in clinical research and/or one of the specialties mentioned above would be desirable, all relevant training will be provided.

This post offers the potential for the successful candidate to progress to a Band 6 research sister/charge nurse position within 12 to 18 months.
