Study Site Co-ordinator / Research Nurse

(Throughout the UK)

FSRF-SF has its main offices at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London but our mission is to conduct national and international multi-centre research studies. Our studies currently involve surgeons at 30 hospitals across the UK. We carry out clinical research on diseases (such as Oral cancer) and injuries affecting the face and mouth, and undertake prospective randomised sociological research studies in schools to discourage smoking and binge drinking. We are looking for full or part time study site co-ordinators to work alongside our participating surgeons in Scotland, North East England, North West England and South West England or Wales - we would expect that you already live in these areas of the UK or are prepared to move there.

The SEND study is the first UK surgical trial in patients with early oral cancer. Cancer Research UK is funding this NCRN supported trial, which compares the two most common surgical approaches to treating this disease. Eighteen centres are already taking part, and more centres in the UK and overseas are expected to join soon. The trial started recruiting in 2007 and is scheduled to run until 2015.

Salary range: £23,458 - £30,823 (or pro rata for part time workers)

The post holder(s) will help to recruit patients and collect their data. They will facilitate the efficient and safe management of the trials, including adherence to study protocols, current regulatory requirements and UK legislation. An important aspect of this work will be close liaison with oral and maxillofacial surgeons. The post holder(s) will be responsible for day-to-day coordination and will be supported by the clinical research manager.

Applicant(s) should have a degree in bioscience or nursing and experience in clinical trials. A high level of computer literacy and knowledge of current regulatory requirements are essential. Some experience of working with cancer patients, particularly those with oral squamous carcinoma, would be beneficial. Applicants should be able to work autonomously, as part of a team and with all levels of medical staff in an ever-changing work environment.

The post holder will have an honorary contract with Barts and the London NHS Trust and other Hospital trusts in their area.

You must be able to travel regularly to liaise with our London based staff and investigators at regional participating centres.

Closing date 13th Feb 2008
