Summary
Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust are seeking a Senior Agile Research Delivery Team Nurse who will be responsible for a case load across Luton, Essex and Herts Valley. You will work collaboratively with members of general practices, primary care teams and wider care & community settings across a range of sites and with key individuals within the host organisation.
This post is funded through East of England RRDN and the post is currently based at Broomfield Hospital, but would also be expected to travel at times across Luton, Herts Valley and Essex to support research across agile settings. In view of the travel you will be required to hold a clean drivers licence and business mileage will be paid according to agenda for change travel guidelines.
From October 2024, the NIHR Clinical Research Network became the NIHR Research Delivery Network (RDN). The RDN continues to support the effective and efficient initiation and delivery of funded research across the health and care system in England for the benefit of patients, the health and care system and the economy, with a name that better reflects the scope and purpose of the network to support:
● Clinical trials and other well-designed health and social care research studies (including studies that are delivered outside of an NHS setting);
● Public health studies that require the recruitment of individuals within an NHS setting (that is, acute, ambulance, mental health, community or primary care) or an episode of care which involves contact with the NHS.
The whole of England is supported through 12 NIHR Regional Research Delivery Networks (RRDNs). These work with the national Coordinating Centre to provide a joint RDN leadership function so that the NIHR RDN as a whole functions as a single organisation with a shared vision and purpose across England. Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the Host Organisation for the East of England RRDN region.
Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is now one of the largest in the country, with a workforce of approximately 15,000 who serve a population of 1.2 million people.
We work together, and in conjunction with MSE Health and Care Partnership to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients, and provide a vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.
From facilities through to consultant specialists we want to be the best, to achieve this we need to recruit not just those who are the finest in their field but also those who have the potential to be. Yes, experience is important but so is outlook – if you are dynamic, forward-thinking and enthusiastic we want you to join us.
We not only offer you a good working environment with flexible working opportunities, but also the opportunity to develop your career with access to appropriate training for your job and the support to succeed and progress.
