The individual should be highly motivated, enthusiastic and capable of contributing to the development of research within our midwifery research team.
If you are committed to providing high-quality care to patients and helping them to make the right decisions about their treatment options, with the skills to guide and advise them throughout their research journey, this role could be for you.
You will be instrumental in implementing study objectives and will provide dedicated support to ensure that the study is delivered to time and target. You will also have opportunities to showcase your work and will at all times be an ambassador of research at MFT, at internal and external events.
