This post is intended to support the departments research programme with particular focus on the delivery of early phase cancer trials including phase I and ATiMP trials. The position will be appointed for 1 year in the first instance, with opportunities for extension.
WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU
As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.
We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.
Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London.

We are looking for a Senior Clinical Research Fellow to join our team supporting research within the Department of Medical Oncology and based predominantly within our Clinical Research Facility.

You will also be responsible for specific study-related medical decisions within their expertise, providing medical cover for studies and study visits, as well as out of hours cover, where required, on week days to allow for treatments that continue beyond 5pm.
You will work collaboratively as a team with research nurses, allied health professionals and the relevant Principal Investigators and be supported by the other fellows in Cancer Care and the Principal Investigators of the respective studies in these activities.
If you have the following skills and qualities, then we would love to receive your application:
· -Good communication skills as this is essential in maintaining trust with our research participants.
· -Flexibility and ability to adapt to changes in plans/schedules due to the fast paced nature of early phase cancer trials work, where protocols and requirements can be complex and change very quickly.
· -Demonstration of excellent team work as this role requires working and communicating with a wide range of individual from different teams (e.g. pharmacy, lab, admin, nursing etc).
· -Must have completed Foundation Training and Core Medical Training (or equivalent) and be able to function independently, with support as/when required and specific to the individual’s level of previous experience.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Appointment will be made under local contractual terms and conditions of service for Trust appointed (non-training fellow doctors and dentists).
Successful candidates will have an educational framework equivalent to training grade doctors, and there will be a named educational supervisor assigned at the start of the post. The opportunity for Continued Professional Development (CPD) is highly supported and encouraged by the Trust, with options available to take study leave. All licensed doctors must meet the GMC requirements for revalidation and there will be an annual appraisal to support this process.
Grades for Trust appointed (non-training) fellows will be paid a basic salary at a nodal pay point linked to the grade, at the rate set out in the National Medical and Dental pay circular.
