Are you a good team worker with excellent communication skills who can contribute to the development of the NIHR/Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Facility at RMCH?

An exciting opportunity has arisen for two Band 6 Paediatric Clinical Research Nurse's to support the current paediatric research team.

If you are committed to producing a high quality research service this role could be for you.

You will be supporting an award-winning diverse team of experts who are making a difference to the future care of patients, driving forward pioneering research into new tests and treatments in a range of paediatric clinical research trials. Utilising our expertise in early phase experimental medicine we aim to contribute to the rapid translation of research findings into clinical care.

MFT is one of the largest NHS Trusts in England with a turnover of £2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts.

Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you'll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary. We've also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research, and innovation through the introduction of Hive our Electronic Patient Record system which launched in September 2022. We're proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What's more, we're excited to be embarking on our Green Plan which sets out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.
