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.

New starters undergo an induction programme and relevant training to help them complete their research competency package.
