Summary
A Vacancy at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
An exciting opportunity for a Research Nurse or Clinical Trial Practitioner to join the Improving Black Health Outcomes Study, part of the NIHR BioResource based at University College London Hospital, UCLH.
Do you want to provide exceptional care and be involved in revolutionising the genetics data we have for the Black population?
Health research studies have rarely focused on the specific health needs and experiences of people from Black communities. This can be problematic since the findings might not always apply to everyone equally. As a result, people from Black communities have often not benefitted from advances in health research. By creating the IBHO BioResource we hope to change this, so that in future, when researchers find something important, for example, a gene that relates to a health condition, we can be sure that this is true for Black communities too.
We are looking to recruit highly motivated individuals, who are able to work autonomously as well as part of a team, to recruit participants to the study and take samples.
This role will be based across UCLH and North Middlesex University Hospital where you will have key working relationships with both sites. You will be managed by the Sickle Cell and Thalassemia Alliance for Research senior Nurse (STAR Nurse) who also works across sites.
The post holder will be working in the Sickle Cell and Thalassemia Alliance for Research Team (STAR Team) who work across North London conducting research for this population group.
The post holder day to day responsibilities will be to screen for patients attending clinics who have Sickle Cell Disease or Thalassemia. Once patients are identified to approach potential participants to inform them of the study, complete the consent procedure and obtain blood samples to ship to the central laboratory for processing.
The post holder will be expected to keep up to date with paperwork completion and spreadsheet trackers.
The post holder will be expected to work across UCLH and NMUH as part of their roles delivering this project.
University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH) is one of the most complex NHS trusts in the UK, serving a large and diverse population. We provide academically led acute and specialist services, to people from the local area, from throughout the United Kingdom and overseas. Our vision is to deliver top-quality patient care, excellent education, and world-class research.
We provide first-class acute and specialist services across eight sites:
• University College Hospital (incorporating the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Wing)
• National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery
• Royal National ENT and Eastman Dental Hospitals
• University College Hospital Grafton Way Building
• Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine
• University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre
• The Hospital for Tropical Diseases

We are dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of many complex illnesses. UCLH specialises in women’s health and the treatment of cancer, infection, neurological,gastrointestinaland oral disease. It has world class support services including critical care, imaging, nuclearmedicineandpathology.
Weare committed to sustainability and have pledged to become a carbon net zero health service, embedding sustainable practice throughout UCLH. We have set an ambitious target of net zero for our direct emissions by 2031 and indirect emissions by 2040.

This post is funded until the 30th September 2025. If you are interested to get an idea of how research studies work and be involved in improving our understanding of Black health, please think about getting in touch and applying.
Although this team works with both adult and paediatric patients, the post holder will only be working with adult patients to support the Improving Black Health Outcomes Study.
This vacancy would suit a nurse who is looking to get some experience in research to understand how the role work. Due to the limited funding the post is only funded till the end of September 2025, therefore this position would be well suited for a secondment.
